When it comes to style, she normally wears dark colours, yet her lovely home is all white \u2013 walls, ceilings and sofas, with only pops of colour. She loves to perform and in fact has already done an enormous number of her fabulous jazz and blues gigs this year with a very full calendar for 2026, including a tour of Australia and New Zealand next March. But she also craves sanctuary and quiet, and has chosen to live on top of a mountain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">However, she might want to be a hermit but it\u2019s as if the universe is thwarting her \u2013 there\u2019s little peace here with several of her adult children always on hand. Her daughter Clare, a chef\/ horse whisperer and Clare\u2019s husband Ciaran and their three children lived with her for years, though they recently bought their own home nearby. In their place now are her son Eoin, an award-winning sound engineer and her daughter Olwen, a graphic designer\/ artist, who is there with her daughter Beatrix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mother, grandmother, Earth mother, shaman but above all legendary vocalist, Mary Coughlan says she\u2019s singing better than ever&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,823,61,60,6361,102752,6360],"class_list":["post-191343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-facebook","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-life-magazine","tag-mary-coughlan","tag-mary-osullivan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
