Mary Coughlan

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.\n 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.\n 8% administrative fee applies for online & telephone orders.A ?2.50 postage fee is applicable on all orders if opting for postal delivery.More information about booking fees
