Experience Mary Coughlan live on April 24th

Mary Coughlan will perform at the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, County Kildare, on April 24th, 2027. Coughlan is an Irish singer known for her distinctive vocal style and interpretations of jazz, blues, and chanson repertoire. Her music frequently incorporates elements of cabaret and torch song, often drawing comparisons to artists like Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, though possessing a uniquely raw and emotive quality. Throughout her career, she has also explored contemporary songwriters, bringing her individual approach to material by artists such as Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.

The Riverbank Arts Centre serves as a multi-disciplinary arts facility for County Kildare and beyond. Officially opened in 2003, it houses a 300-seat theatre, gallery spaces, a dance studio, and workshop rooms. The centre aims to provide access to a diverse range of arts programming including theatre, music, visual art exhibitions, dance performances and community engagement initiatives. It functions as a key regional hub for both presenting professional work and supporting local artistic development. The building itself is located on the site of the former Newbridge Army Barracks, integrating historical elements with modern design. It is managed by Kildare County Council.
