Fiachna Ó Braonáin (born 27 November 1965) plays the guitar and sings vocals with the Irish band Hothouse Flowers. Born in Dublin, he received his school education at Scoil Lorcáin, Monkstown, County Dublin and Coláiste Eoin, Stillorgan, County Dublin. The Hothouse Flowers were founded as a Dublin street-performance act called the Incomparable Benzini Brothers by Fiachna and his schoolmate Liam Ó Maonlaí.
Fiachna appears on a duet with Belinda Carlisle on her 2007 release, Voila.
In September 2007, he released an album with his other band PreNup. Fellow musicians are Cait O'Riordan (Ex-Pogues) and Dave Clarke (Hothouse Flowers). In addition to that, Fiachna also previously hosted "Poetic Champions", a radio show that aired on Today FM every Sunday night from 7–8pm with the program involving Irish musicians who discuss the various albums that had an influence on them and their careers.
