Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh (born 1978) is a musician and singer from County Kerry, Ireland. She is the lead singer from the traditional music group Danú. Her name is pronounced MWI-ren Nick OWL-eve. Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh grew up on Inis Oirr, the smallest of the Aran Islands, and Cape Clear Island, another small island off the coast of County Cork. Both of these communities are Gaeltachts (Irish speaking areas), and Muireann's first language is Irish. This was to affect her later career, due to her early exposure to Irish language song, especially in the Sean nós tradition. She began playing piano and fiddle at an early age, before progressing to the whistle and eventually the flute.
