Hugh P and Maria Doherty are a Father and Daughter band based in Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Their first C.D “A Living Prayer”, their beautiful Gospel C.D, received widespread play, on radio and television here and abroad, with many wonderful reports of God touching people’s lives through their music. They feel so blessed with how it’s been received. This C.D is all for Charity – with all money going to the DePaul Boy’s Home which is an Orphanage for little boys in Uganda and also to a local Hospice.
Their second C.D “A Couple More Years” is a selection of their favourite, most-requested and most-loved songs. This C.D has many wonderful songs like the internet hit “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing” which was praised by original singer Maxine Brown (of the Browns), among others. This C.D has also been played internationally on Radio and T.V and continues to be a success.
Hugh and Maria are much sought after musicians, popular for weddings, concerts, dances and more!

Hello Hugh and Maria
I was so very happy to find a very talented father/daughter duo who sings and performs so very well. I listen many times to your music on You Tube. Please include a little information about you two such as hobbies, activities, family, how you started, etc. Nothing personal just so we can connect more fully with your music. May God Bless you this holiday season
I have been involved in gospel music for most of my life. Living in the USA there are very many forms of gospel music to listen to however none has blessed me so much as finding the unique voices that you two possess. Thank you so much for giving to the whole world your beautiful music which I listen to here in Tennessee, USA.

Hi,
Can you please tell me if Maria’s Gospel Hour on Keep it Country TV is repeated during the week?
I only manage to catch the start as I have to leave for my own church service which starts at 5 o’clock.
Every blessing to you!
How do I love thy music (thanks and perhaps apologies for my modification to Elizabeth Barrett Browning). Let me count the ways. Well I won’t count the ways but suffice to say…beautiful, stirring, moving, emotional, uplifting…. Thank you. I noticed several comments from Canada. Perhaps you would be interested in a Canadian tour ? If so,you may wish to contact Warren Robinson, co-founder of The Goderich (Ontario) Celtic Roots Festival held in August these past 25 (?) years. (Google for details). Now to track down your CDs. Thanks again. Caledonia playing as I key this.
PS I meant to also comment on your harmonies which are outstanding and, the sort of harmonies that I’m told, can be achieved best by family members: Browns, Louvins, Everly Bros and the like. (BTW, I thought of Ira Louvin when I saw your dad.)
How about mocking bird hill love to here you Maria and your dad sing that little song Kinds Regards Tom Doyle mc Donagh
Hello Hugh & Maria. If you ever go on international tour , would love to see your show in Lancaster PA at the American Music Theater. Best Wishes , James
Hello Maria,
I first came across you on the country music channel, since then we have corresponded by email to which you have very kindly agreed to play on a future show a favourite song of mine, I love the song A Living Prayer, I listen to this daily at the moment.
The Tv show is just amazing, I listen to this between church services, you just have an infectious and contagious personality, I love the song choices you make, the way you explain this to people and you clear love for Christ.
This show on TV should go on for years and years, this is one of the best on there as it stands and producers should continue to commission this.
I hope you produce more DVD, CD’s and you will go on from strength to strength.
All the very best for the future.

Hello from Germany
Thank you very much for immediate delivery of the ordered CDs. I came across your music by looking for Irish songs on the internet. It was last wintertime when I was watching “I Heard The Bluebirds Sing” on YouTube and I was so impressed by your singing that I wanted to hear more of your wonderful music. In May, me and my wife were travelling around the northern counties of Ireland but, unfortunately we had no chance to see you performing.
God bless you and thank you for the music
Greetings Hugh and Maria. Received the CD that included “I heard the Blue Birds sing” . I surely enjoy being able to listen to it , as I do quite often. We were on a tour of Ireland in 2016 and your songs remind me of that very nice visit to the Emerald Isle. My best wishes to you both, your voices blend so nicely. On days that I am not feeling so well, it picks up my spirits to listen to your harmony and I also look at your videos on my computer.
Hugh and Maria
Your music is a real blessing! So much talent! May God continue to bless you
in this important work! Any chance of doing shows in the U.S.?
I love the father and daughter idea but I love your beautiful voices with happiness when your both in the country where you live that brings out the country in you voices,
I Heard a Blue Bird Sing,a old Marty Robbins number.
I’d like your music on out two of my DJs Country Radio Stations hear in Great Britain and England.
Thank you once again.
Found your music on youtube love your music would love to by your CDs GOD BLESS you and thank you from Missouri
i love the father and daughter interaction on your videos, as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot day.
very inspiring. may Jesus continue to bless you both. from Arizona USA.
Hello Hugh and Maria
Some time ago I was searching for the lyrics of “I herd the bluebirds sing”. I came across a father daughter version, and quite honestly the first time I looked up the song and saw your version, Without listening to it, I discarded the song and searched further, I kept coming across your version so I decided to listen. I’m glad I did, Watching and listening to Father and daughter sing like that, made me feel very good, and to my amazement, father and daughter had produced more songs on youtube.
I now have a play list of Hugh and Maria with as far as I can tell all there youtube numbers. I don’t watch everyday, but quite frequently. I don’t want to sound foolish, but your music makes my life just that little bit more pleasant. I wish you both a very long successful future.
Take care of one another,
your fan Tony
