Failte (Welcome)
Welcome to the official website of songwriter and Irish folk ballad
singer Cynthia Bennett. Cynthia grew up in a musical family but didn't
perform professionally until she was well into two careers, as a
mother and as a nurse. After being "dragged blinking onto a stage",
she has delighted audiences in Ireland, Canada, and the United
States with her pure vocals, whimsical humor, and spirit of adventure
and fun. In her music, Cynthia relates Celtic mythology, Irish history
and stories of everyday life, frequently with a humorous twist.

BREAKING NEWS*BREAKING NEWS

What will you do with a broken shoulder, earlye in the
morning? Thanks to everyone who has expressed concern,
said prayers, or helped out since my accident. For those who
have asked, no glamour--I slipped and fell in the mudroom.
Note: spraying insect repellent on yourself indoors make the
floor slippy. Don't try this at home. I have two fractures in my
right shoulder and possible rotator cuff damage. I'll be
incapacitated 2-3 months...after that, please God, I'll be back
onstage and using the arm again. Yes, your calls, letters, and
emails are very welcome, thanks. I appreciate all of you.
