Liam Ó Maonlaí Liam Ó Maonlaí's first memory of learning anything is of singing 'An Buachaill Ón Éirne' in front of his father in their kitchen in Clonskeagh, County Dublin. Most of the songs Liam has sung since have been written by him or with his band, the Hothouse Flowers. He spent ten years exploring life as part of a contemporary electric Irish group - a life that consisted of touring for most of the year.

The rest of the band's time was spent recovering, writing and recording. Since 1994 Liam has worked with Sharon Shannon, Guo Hue (a Chinese flute player) the Irish Concert Orchestra, Liam O'Flynn, Steve Cooney and Séamus Begley, amongst others. He has also written and recorded the album Altitude with Tim Finn and Andy White, and is presently working on a project with fellow Hot House Flower Fiachra Ó Braonáin and Peter O'Toole.
