Enya: General Updates

[disneyteletubby]

That's nice news! I like how right after Only Time, they listed MJ's Remember The Time https://www.bpi.co.uk/brit-certified (on the Gold tab)

Wonder what award's next for Enya...

Wonder what award's next for Enya...

BIGGEST WHORE
WORST HAIRCUT
BEST SOAP VILLIAN

 

[disneyteletubby]

Well the best soap villain I was thinking maybe Cindy Beale ♡

@disneyteletubby - to what extent do you see pop-soul songstress Michelle Collins being influenced by Enya?

Not the next award, but maybe another Grammy nomination, 2026-2027

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya at the BBC! ♡
BBC2, Saturday 15th March 2025

BBC Two - Enya at the BBC

Sail away with this celebration of Enya, Ireland's most successful solo artist.

www.bbc.co.uk

And Gaga opening for her

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya recalls her time in the early 90s selling Big Macs for a children's charity event

♡

the 'turn it up' fragment of Orinoco Flow to be featured in a 2025 McDonald's ad!

[disneyteletubby]

Enya mentioned in the Daily Mail today, in a nicer kind of way

 

[Lucille]

 

[Shirley]

I WISH I WERE

 

[Shoat]

Imagine being disdainful of "never been married, never had kids"

Such EVIL Handmaids Tale energy

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has thoroughly enjoyed her birthday/Eurovision evening and a few minutes ago was reminded of her 'I can't blow hard enough' (for the Irish pipes, not candles) comment from almost 40 years ago — seeing Justyna (the Eurovision entry for Poland) trying the Swiss alphorn

Not exactly an update haha, meant for the other thread

 

[Shoat]

Enya has celebrated her 64th birthday by ruminating over "When I'm 64", concluding that the Isle of Wight is in fact too dear, and arranged a DRONE STRIKE to sink it to be the bottom of the sea

 

[disneyteletubby]

I was also thinking the Beatles' "When I'm 64" would've been in mind haha
Cover (AI) here

Yes we still need you, fans will still heed you, when you're 64

 

[disneyteletubby]

(edit: the last two are the brother and sister dancers, the guy in the middle was one too)

Enya thinks she might’ve spotted a homosexual gentleman

And got a photo with one or two ️ at Drumhalla House in Donegal.

 

[disneyteletubby]

This article yesterday evening (Daily Mail of course)

https://www.STOP FUNDING HATEco.uk/...ic-appearance-eight-years-reclusive-life.html

They even selected some comments from the Reddit post I made (which has obviously became the most popular post I've made there)

(but thankfully my usernames and comments have been spared from the tabloids )

 

[disneyteletubby]

https://www.theSTOP FUNDING HATE/tv...er-enya-spotted-public-castle-recluse-dublin/

But the other notable tabloid (The Sun ) have mentioned me as 'one loyal fan'

Media outlets in Ireland mentioned it too, of course.

Enya makes rare public appearance for the first time in eight years

The talented singer has kept a very low profile in recent years, away from the public eye, however, she was spotted out in County Donegal with her sister Moya Brennan

Reclusive Irish superstar makes first public appearance in eight years

The talented singer has kept a very low profile in recent years, away from the public eye

www.dublinlive.ie

(which refer to 'people' and 'fans' making the point, rather than one loyal fan )

 

[disneyteletubby]

(edit: the last two are the brother and sister dancers, I think the guy in the middle was one of the couple)

And got a photo with one or two ️ at Drumhalla House in Donegal.

My mistake neither of the younger guys in the photo are the newlywed gays, they are both dancers. But one of the couple works in the bar at Leo's Tavern (Enya's family's pub) so there's the connection. And she could've still got photos with them.

Edit: she must have (was filmed greeting one! ♡) they are a late 40s- 50s-ish couple, and appeared in this November 2025 documentary.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Similar kind of news for Enya since, Hello! magazine mentioned her too. If only she got a whole special edition in print like the royals get...

Enya makes first public outing in 8 years – leaving fans flabbergasted

Enya stuns fans with first public appearance in 8 years as she steps out for a wedding in Donegal.

www.hellomagazine.com

There is some mention of her being nominated for the next Freedom of Donegal award (last one went to Clannad the same day as Enya's birthday last year) that'll be wonderful if true!

And thankfully this picture has stayed on Wikipedia without issue (well, it did for a little while ♡)

♡

 

[disneyteletubby]

Quite recent news, and looks like Enya might finally be getting this award 🏞

Enya to be granted Freedom of Donegal - Donegal Woman

Global superstar Enya will be the next recipient of the Freedom of the County in Donegal. Enya (Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin) was nominated for the honour by Cathaoirleach Niamh Kennedy at the May plenary council meeting. Enya, who holds four Grammy Awards and an Oscar nomination, is Ireland's...

I feel so generally updated.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[disneyteletubby]

Thrifty
I was the one who pointed out the same outfit (plus it was 2016 for picture on the left)

 

[disneyteletubby]

I saw this recently it made a few news headlines haha

 

[Lucille]

Well you only need 1 nice top if you NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE.

 

[Sheena]

I am absolutely furious. I go to Mexico and have to leave the organising of my Mum’s funeral to my useless brothers.

And they decide we’re going to enter the crematorium to ORINOCO FUCKING FLOW.

I am incensed and half tempted to slip a “#DELETETHEENYAFORUM” note into the coffin on the way out.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Your brother's have TASTE!

 

[disneyteletubby]

Sorry to hear that @Sheena, and admittedly that is a strange choice to enter to

I have a sister who despises Enya about as much as yourself and despite me frequently winding her up by just mentioning Enya, even I wouldn't choose a song my siblings dislike, for a solemn family event.

#MoopyMeetUp and let's delete it together!

 

[Sheena]

Moopy meet up at my mum’s funeral?

I’ve heard worse ideas on Moopy to be fair…

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not exactly an update, but a different kind of article published yesterday. It features some kind of timeline of Enya photos between 1988 and 2025 ️ (Wild Child was in 2001, but of course the YouTube upload was later) and an ad-type title.

This Millionaire Singer Lives Alone in a Mansion with Cats – Her First Photo in 8 Years Left People Stunned

She rose to fame in the '80s and '90s, then vanished from the spotlight. See the castle where she's lived as a recluse with her cats for decades and what she looks like now.

[disneyteletubby]

Regarding this music database thing

I recently discovered an international database of musical works. It includes a number of songs written by Enya (Eithne) that have not been released. Many I've never heard of. Some list her alone as the writer; sometimes Nicky and Roma are also credited.

https://iswcnet.cisac.org/

there's a new one (not previously listed) that someone else found...



It could just be another Boadicea remix*, but there's no other names besides Enya, Nicky and Roma's (unless they've reworked it) but it genuinely seems new.

Even AI Enya agrees

*Edit: it is but it's a cool track:

[disneyteletubby]

updates the view of the formerly named Ayesha Castle

Oh wait someone was there recently:

Assuming there's no hidden explosive, that's sweet

 

[Joseph]

I did used to love this store

 

[Suedehead]

At my local Oxfam yesterday

Queen of charity shops!!

 

[jivafox]

That DISGUSTING cover should really be covered up in public!

 

[Suedehead]

It CARRIES ON in the back...

 

[disneyteletubby]

I've never seen an Enya CD in a charity shop near me maybe I should check an Oxfam instead. In the Dougie Mac there's always loads of Robbie Williams, Daniel Bedingfield, Susan Boyle, and some James Blunt CDs, all for £1 each.

I got the Special Christmas Edition sleeve instead

 

[jivafox]

You can roll a turd in glitter etc etc!

 

[disneyteletubby]

Well this exists too (I have the promo CD)

A few hours ago this was announced 🎛
