Previously Appearing at Wickham was...
Mary Coughlan
A lot has been written and a lot has been said, whispered, recounted, alleged, supposed and presumed. It’s all quite forgotten now and the songs remain the same, they remain a testament to Mary Coughlan’s seemingly timeless and endless talent. Her smoky, bluesy, boozy drawl has always been a seduction, no matter what the subject. The vocal marrying of sardonic wit, visceral rage, orgiastic between the sheets passion, the tenderest of sorrowful regrets; this is Mary’s talent. Regardless of the elements she chooses to manipulate with flawless ease, Mary’s voice has always been an unforeseen, sudden seduction. This is why she is so loved.
Throughout over 25 years of her quite extraordinary recording career Mary has drawn heavily from her legendary heroes; Billie Holiday’s grievous, teary outpourings, the husky flirtations of Peggy Lee, Van Morrison’s soulful wails, the defiant chanteusery of Edith Piaf. All are present and correct in her delivery. Even so, Mary, with her naked honesty makes every song her own; they belong to her and nobody else. Who else could possibly present “The Double Cross” or “Magdalen Laundry” or “The Ice Cream Man” with such dedication and effortless zeal?

This is the area that NRA want to build six lane motorway.Across the slopes of Little Sugar Loaf!!!!

Idiots😡
Wicklow Co Council and NRA have decided it’s a good thing to build a six lane motorway across the slopes of the Little Sugar Loaf
Over my body !

I'll sign, but petitions are mostly useful to publicise and win public support. The planning authorities will more or less ignore them. Do you have people who are well versed in the planning process, and can make evidence based arguments at the planning hearing? Legal advice could also be invaluable. Our little group in Co Cork is opposing the proposed M28 motorway and the case has gone all the way through the planning process to the High Court. Judgement expected in a couple of weeks (fingers crossed). Our now closed crowdfunding site gives a bit of the story; very similar to yours I think - gogetfunding.com/save-raffeen-quarry/ Wishing you the very best of luck!
OMG I used to go horseback riding up there. How sad. Get people to the planning session.
Typical ! Destroy a beauty spot for the sake of progress.
Any areas of special significance? When you have the planing reference please share so we can help and object to it. Best wishes Belle

An honor to be part of tonight’s tribute to Gay.
I cried. So many memories.... He was so instrumental in creating the lovely, outward-looking, kinder, progressive country we know today. A country that isn't afraid to look itself in the mirror and ask awkward questions ❤️
How do you sing this amongst all that energy without collapsing in tears? Certain songs I just can't do at a session.....this is literally breathtaking.
What a beautiful tribute! Beautiful singing, Mary!
Amazing show and beautiful music. Wonderful tribute. Loved you singing Mary.
