Mary Coughlan

Admission £24/£20
Start Time 20:00
End Time 22:00

Mary Coughlan is arguably one of Ireland’s greatest female jazz and blues singers – a true artist who has carved out a timeless and highly regarded career and a legion of devoted fans worldwide.

Described as ‘Ireland’s Billie Holiday’, Mary has overcome childhood trauma, alcoholism and drug addiction to become a musical force like no other.

She is unique in blending the whisky-blurred, smoke-seared, husky notes and laconic wit of Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee, and deep, down and dirty blues singers back to Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith, with the sardonic, bitter-sweet defiance and despair of Piaf.

It’s all delivered in a delicious and unapologetic Irish drawl. Sceptical, rueful, mournful and melting, ardent for love – a voice which wraps itself around Cole Porter and Jerome Kern, Elvis Presley and Joy Division.
