Mary McLaughlin Home

Mary Mclaughlin is a singer/songwriter/teacher who is steeped in the Ulster Gaelic song tradition of her native Ireland where she was born and raised.

Mary records, performs and teaches workshops in Irish singing, technique and Gaelic song and culture. She has toured extensively throughout UK, Ireland and North America, teaching and performing at Celtic/Irish camps. She has recorded five CDs to international acclaim, written two song books and completed a PhD in Irish Otherworld Song, Her particular expertise is in the Keen, Gaelic Christmas songs and Fairy Song.

Currently she teaches Gaelic song in the Ulster tradition online to students from several countries through classes and individual lessons.

It has been a true gift to learn with Mary, who brings wisdom, humor and plenty of encouragement to her teaching. As a beginner in the Irish tradition, I was astounded to be singing in Gaelic after the first class and felt the joy of my ancestors in doing so! Throughout the course, Mary shared her deep knowledge and experience, not only of the songs, but of the landscapes, history and culture that shaped them. I highly recommend her work to anyone who feels the call.
