Mary Coughlan is a born survivor and a woman of extreme passion who is able to sing straight from the heart. Since releasing her debut album in 1985 on Mystery Records, Tired and Emotional, Mary has gone on to record some truly classic songs in her own indomitable and exciting manner.

This year sees Ms. Coughlan come to Liverpool as part of the Liverpool-Irish Festival 10th anniversary celebrations and Mary will be performing as part of this at St. George’s Hall on the 18th October and whilst resting at home after performing to packed out shows in Sweden, I was able to catch up with the Irish singing sensation ahead of the festival.

In eighteen short months the life and career of musician Stephen Langstaff has taken on almost sky rocket proportions, for a young man he was already well known as a decent support act in his own right and was able to open for the Bangles at the Academy on their tour in the summer of 2008. Stephen then got the call to support the Lightning Seeds at the Liverpool Philharmonic and then a coveted opening spot for Deacon Blue at this years Liverpool Summer Pops at the Echo Arena.

I last caught up with Stephen Langstaff just under a year ago when he was about to go on his eagerly awaited Academy tour at four different venues. This tour opened up more doors to the young Liverpool singer/songwriter and in the following year he has had the distinct pleasure of opening for the Lightning Seeds on their latest tour, culminating in a fantastic critically received gig at the Cadogan Hall, London.
