Mary Coughlan

The Big Voice of Ireland with jazz and blues influenced intense songs of passion, life's trials and survival against the odds. Mary achieved overnight success with her debut release, Tired And Emotional, in 1984.

The first act to be signed to Ed Sheeran's label, Gingerbread Man Records, Plymouth singer/songwriter Jamie Lawson's dark and tender country tinged pop songs take a passionate and intimate look at all that is beautiful and terrible in love and regret.

'In these times of short attention spans and the need for instant gratification, it is refreshing to have an artist like Ultan Conlon capable of producing deeply affecting songs like the ones on his soon to be released second album which demand you sit down and slowly listen to over and over.

Ultan combines common themes and familiar situations with coherent prose and wraps them around musical styles rooted deeply in traditional rock and roll, country and folk. There is no slick polish, flash or tricks to the songs, nor is there to the man himself. Love, regret, heartbreak and hope are presented in a candid way made even easier to empathise with due to Ultan's comforting and uncontrived vocal delivery.'
