Mary Coughlan - Saturday 14th May, 8:30pm, tickets €22.50
Mary Coughlan is one of our greatest female singers. At over ten albums she’s made the most mature, uncompromising, wholly personal and utterly universal music. She has taken the classic standards of jazz balladry and the recent gems of rock and Irish songwriting, shaken them and offered them up new, like jewels dripping from the deep, strewn on black velvet. The stage is where Mary survives – in front of a handful or thousands of people, she emotes, purges, atones, reminisces, eulogises and laments, and you can’t hear the very best until you’ve heard her story recited in every note.
Mary Coughlan, in association with Nenagh College, is appearing at Nenagh Arts Centre on Saturday the 14th of May at 8:30pm.
