Voice coach sings at Ettalong

A woman who has worked as a voice coach to Julia Roberts will sing in Ettalong on St Patrick's Day.

Irish singer Mary Coughlan will perform Lizotte' s on Wednesday, March 17.

She has worked as a voice coach for Julia Roberts and Tyne Daly and was recently named by the Irish Government "woman of the year" for her outstanding contribution to the arts and humanitarian efforts.

Ms Coughlan will be preforming some old favourites as well as trying out new material, which will be on her forthcoming studio album.

Coughlan has collaborated with Tom Waits' producer for "After the Fall", co-writing with Ireland's greatest songwriters, Jimmy Mc Carthy, Johnny Mulhern and Elvis Costello.

She recently toured Europe with a production "Lady Sings the Blues", a tribute to Billie Holiday, which won her critical acclaim.
