Meet Brigid McNally
Brigid's Story
Brigid started teaching in 1982 after studying at North Sydney Catholic Teachers College. Brigid took some time off to have and care for her 3 daughters before returning to teaching. For 16 years Brigid was the Music /Drama teacher at Holy Family School, Lindfield, N.S.W. (Broken Bay Diocese)
Brigid is a self-taught musician (Guitar, Piano and Recorder), and started writing music when she began teaching at Holy Family.
Brigid has written many hymns, and her songs are a regular and welcome addition to school Masses. Brigid and her husband Greg (and friends) provided music at masses and other celebrations at St Thomas Church, Willoughby, for about 18 years. During this time, many of Brigid’s hymns were part of the liturgy. She has also written many non-religious songs.
Brigid has written several songs for other schools, and is happy to take commissions. Brigid has four CD's for sale:
"Born in a Lowly Stable" -A complete Christmas concert CD, ;
"Come Gather at My Table" - music for primary school Eucharistic celebrations throughout the year.
"It's a Hot Aussie Christmas" -what happens when Santa makes it "Down Under" for Christmas ;
"Mermaid Magic and the Climate Crusaders" 2 kids, one clever mermaid and one clumsy seagull join forces to save the planet from pollution(with the help of all the kids in the world working together)
Brigid is very excited to announce in 2024 she joined "Willow Publishing" as one of their artists and her 2 Religious albums are now available on the Willow Publishing website
