Info
Mary Coughlan performs at Peacocks, Swords, on 12 June 2026 at 7:00 pm.
Born in Shantalla, Galway, she has built a body of work rooted in jazz and blues; Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith are among her inspirations, and pop, rock, folk, and chanson (Edith Piaf is also a touchstone) influences also appear in her work. She explores a lesser-known side of Peggy Lee’s music in this show.
Her voice first came to wide attention in 1985 with her debut album, Tired and Emotional. That album led to appearances on The Late Late Show, a hit single with Delaney’s Gone Back On The Wine, and tours of Britain, Germany, and Holland. She followed that release with Under The Influence (1987), Uncertain Pleasures (1990), and Sentimental Killer (1992).
Her most recent album is Life Stories (2020). In 2020 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mayor of Galway, Mike Cubbard.
