After the showband era he set up a small pub in Meenaleck, Co Donegal called 'Leo's Tavern'.
Four of his children later formed Clannad. This group had a series of hits including The Theme from Harrys Game.
Enya left this group to embark on a highly successful solo career selling an estimated seventy five million records.
Mr Brennan is survived by his wife Máire ‘Baba’ Brennan and their children Moya, Ciarán, Pól, Deirdre, Leon, Enya, Olive, Bartley and Brídín.
His funeral will take place at St Mary's Chapel, Derrybeg, Co Donegal on Friday.
