Cathy Maguire an accomplished singer and songwriter who was born in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland on 11 October 1981. At a very young age she became known locally as a child star. She recorded her first album at the age of twelve and after several listeners' requests, she was invited by Gerry Ryan to perform a live set on his radio program. This sparked off a career that spanned numerous TV appearances[citation needed] and 3 albums by the time she was 17.[1][2]
After formal college education Maguire returned to the United States and went to work in Nashville, TN as a songwriter. She released an album entitled 'Portrait' on the 17th of April 2009. The album was released by Celtic Collections, the label behind the phenomenally successful Celtic Woman. Maguire toured in Ireland extensively with The High Kings, who are also on the Celtic Collection label. She also opened for Martina Mc Bride on her Irish 2009 tour.
Maguire holds a BA Hons Degree in Ethnomusicology. She has embarked on a Masters by research which she will complete in 2010. She is currently based in the USA.
In 2010, Maguire announced plans for a new album to be recorded in Nashville October 2010. She has also been commissioned by a well known film house in New York to co-write a screen play about traditional Irish music.
