Clannad star Moya Brennan has admitted her faith helped her overcome her demons.
The singer, 60, helped her band sell millions of records with the aid of 25 haunting albums.
But Ms Brennan has told an interview with the RTE Guide that she owes everything to God for helping her overcome her addictions.
“I was in a real mess. I probably did have a bit of a drink problem. I mean, I would have been waking up in the morning not knowing how I got home.
“When you work in the music business, it’s easy to get into smoking dope and drinking too much,” she said.
Moya, who now lives in Dublin with photographer husband Tim Jarvis, is back making great music again.
“I am a very positive person now,” she said.
