“Truth is very powerful . . . there’s a great freedom in being truthful about everything.”
On this week's podcast, Róisín meets Mary Coughlan, a singer who "emotes, purges, atones, reminisces, eulogises and laments".
In a candid discussion, the singer tells her story of addiction, recovery, acceptance and growth.
She also discusses her urge to go and help the refugees on Europe’s borders, taking part in something called a “F**k it Retreat” and recording her new album, Scars on the Calendar, which is available now.
You can catch Mary performing in upcoming shows at Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Co Cork, on October 2nd and at The Purty Kitchen, Monkstown, Dublin, on October 9th.
