Mary Coughlan / Tracy Bruen – 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin 01.12.2024

A celebratory evening with Mary Coughlan and a fully seated house at Dublin’s 3Olympia, picking gems from her 40 year back catalogue and some wonderful covers thrown in for good measure , also featuring a guest appearance from non other than “Twist In My Sobriety” singer Tanita Tikaram! The evening was also interspersed with anecdotes from Mary.

The evening was ably supported by the talented and sometimes hilarious Tracy Bruen.
