Morgan MacIntyre (from
Belfast) and Gemma Doherty (from
Derry) met at
Trinity College, Dublin. They founded Saint Sister in 2014. They were voted the “Best Irish Act" by the readers of
The Irish Times in 2016. Their debut album,
Shape of Silence, was released in 2018 and was nominated for the
Choice Music Prize. They performed an a cappella rendition of the song "
Dreams" by
The Cranberries at
Lyra McKee's funeral in Belfast, who was killed by the
New IRA in April 2019. In 2020, the duo were part of an
Irish collective of female singers and musicians called Irish Women in Harmony, that recorded a version of the song "
Dreams" in aid of the charity Safe Ireland, which deals with
domestic abuse which had reportedly risen significantly during the
COVID-19 lockdown. The duo went on indefinite hiatus at the end of 2023. Since then, MacIntyre has launched her own solo project, releasing songs under the name "
Morgana". ==Personnel==
