Live music review: Gilbert O’Sullivan at Cork Opera House

4/5

Mercurial Gilbert O’Sullivan must surely be among Ireland’s greatest ever exports, seated on a gold-tinted perch just above Kerrygold and Jameson.

Not surprisingly, this capacity Opera House audience knew every word of classic hits like ‘Nothing Rhymed’, ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’, ‘Matrimony’, ‘What’s In A Kiss’ and ‘Clair’, and encore gem ‘Get Down (‘You’re a bad dog, baby’)’.
