Ireland's leading jazz and blues singer, Mary Coughlan has earned a reputation as undisputed 'Lady of the Blues'.

She is one of the few artists to have a voice that is powerful, passionate and honest enough to carry off a diverse range of styles. Singing from the soul, she mixes a wry and laconic humour with a voracious stage presence.

She has been likened to legends such as Peggy Lee and Marianne Faithful, and collaborated with music greats such as Jimmy McCarthy, Elvis Costello and Greg Cohen.

Ranging from the blues classic "I'd Rather Go Blind", through the salacious "Love Is Extra", to the haunting Irish ballad "Ancient Rain", this will be Mary Coughlan at her very best!

With more than twelve great albums to her credit, she performs some of her favourite songs joined on stage by some of her favourite musicians.

Performing: Mary Coughlan (vocals), Tom Rainey (piano), Harry Harrison (guitar), Richard Pickard (bass), Cameron Pearce (drums).
