“A tenor voice that has all the ring of Waterford Crystal which has only ever served smoky whiskey” - Irish Music Magazine

Sunday evening I dropped by the Mucky Duck to hear Tommy O'Sullivan in concert.

I had not heard of Tommy O'Sullivan before but decided to take a chance and go check out his show.

What a pleasant surprise. Mr. O'Sullivan has a great voice and is a very accomplished guitar player.

He has enjoyed a long career performing contemporary and traditional Irish music appearing alongside such artists as: Sean Keane, Paddy Keenan and Tim O'Brien.

Tommy performed two sets full of a number of his own compositions as well as traditional Irish and Irish-American pieces...and even an old "traditional" piece by The Dillards.

Some of the highlights included: "The Contender", "She Moved Through the Fair", "Neidin", "The Maids of Culmore" and "Killing the Blues".
