“I’ve been thinking long and hard about retiring and have finally decided that the time has come for me to step away from life on the road… this next Irish tour will be my last: *The Slán Tour*.
It’s been an incredible journey over the past 45+ years , full of highs, some challenges, and many unforgettable moments. While it’s not easy to say goodbye, I know the time is right to close this chapter.
To everyone who has supported and followed me down through the years, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to my loyal band: Bill Shanley, Pat Crowley, Richie Buckley, Nick Scott and Liam Bradley, whose amazing talents and friendship enriched my touring life.
With these great musicians by my side again, I intend to make this final tour very special and one to remember!
Hope you’ll join us for this last farewell.
Love,
Mary X”
