Widely regarded as Ireland’s greatest jazz and blues voice, Mary Coughlan is more than just a singer—she is a force of nature. With a career spanning nearly four decades, Mary has carved out a legacy as one of the most intensely expressive, soul-stirring performers to ever grace an Irish stage. Described by Hotpress as “one of our most openly raw performers,” her voice is a haunting blend of wisdom, pain, sensuality, and resilience—a voice that tells stories no one else could.
With influences that include Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, and Édith Piaf, Mary’s music delves deep into the heart of jazz and blues, yet her sound remains unmistakably her own. Her body of work is uncompromising, deeply personal, and powerfully universal—songs of survival, heartbreak, love, and redemption that resonate across generations and cultures.
Now entering a bold new chapter in her storied career, Mary brings her extraordinary live show to the sublime surroundings of Warrenpoint Town Hall for a special concert as part of the 26th Annual International Guinness Blues on the Bay Festival 2025. This iconic venue’s acoustics are the perfect match for Mary’s emotive delivery and magnetic stage presence, promising an experience that is as unforgettable as it is unmissable.
Joined by her superb band, Mary will captivate you from the very first note, delivering a performance filled with intensity, vulnerability, and soul. This is not just a concert—it’s a rare chance to witness a true legend of Irish music in her element.
A spellbinding evening awaits. Don’t miss this headline performance that promises to be one of the defining moments of this year’s festival.
