Live music review: Gilbert O’Sullivan - An enjoyable gig. Naturally

4/5

Few sixties and seventies chart-toppers have kept their hair like Gilbert O’Sullivan - but far fewer still can boast the same vocal talents that made them stars.

Hearing that voice made it worthwhile for the Opera House audience to have given up the chance to spend Valentine’s night dining with loved ones, a sacrifice for which the Waterford-born song-writer thanked them early on. His allusion to Barry’s as the tea of choice on Leeside was never necessary to get this devoted audience on-side.
