Mary Black talks life and motherhood

Depression, working mother guilt and working as a child to pay for her school uniform, the legendary Mary Black talks to Caroline O’ Doherty about her long-awaited autobiography.

MARY Black uses her recentlypublished autobiography to announce she’s retiring from touring — just as she gets ready for the first of 43 gigs across North America and Europe.

“I know, I know. I tell everyone I’m cutting down on my work and I’ve never been busier,” she says of juggling tour preparations with the book publicity and the launch of the accompanying album.
