Mary Coughlan

Mary is Ireland’s greatest jazz and blues singer and “one of our most openly raw performers” (Hotpress). In a career fast approaching its 40th year, she is about to enter its next, exciting stage.

Born in Shantalla, Galway city, Mary has made some of the most uncompromising, wholly personal, and universal music by any Irish artist. While her roots are in jazz and blues - Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith are among her inspirations - pop, rock, folk, and chanson (Edith Piaf is also a touchstone) influences also appear in her work. Now, the next chapter of her distinguished career finds her exploring a little known side of the music of Peggy Lee.

The International Guinness Blues on the Bay Festival 2025 are so proud to host this spellbinding concert within the splendid acoustics of Warrenpoint Town Hall, beside the beautiful shores of Carlingford Lough.

Performing with her band of highly accomplished musicians, this promises to be one of the highlights of this year's Blues and Jazz Calander!
