Bergin's breakthrough came with the All-Ireland Tin Whistle Championship win in 1970. In the early 1970s, she moved to An Spidéal, County Galway, and collaborated with groups like De Danann. Her debut album, Feadóga Stáin, was released in 1979, followed by Feadóga Stáin 2 in 1992. Bergin has also been a member of Dordán, which blends traditional Irish music with baroque pieces.
