unconfirmed.

The booking agent gave me these dates and venues off the top of his head,
so I'm not sure if all the spellings are correct. Anyone planning to go
(and yes, you should go) should call the venue for specific details.

What a wonderful show it was! Please go to this show, if you're in the
general area of one of them. Mary's voice is in top form, it wraps itself
around you and won't let go. Dark, smoky, wry Irish vocals. Mary Coughlin
is from Ireland, but she doesn't sing "Irish" music. She's more akin to
Billie Holiday and June Tabor. She can take any song written and sing it
with her Irish voice and wry style and make the song completely her own.
She sings everyone from Cole Porter to Elvis Costello and never ever sings
a bad song. I was so excited to be at this show because I've been such a
big fan for so many years, and I wasn't disappointed at all. She also tells
great stories about some of the songs.
