Gilbert O'Sullivan, joined by guitarist Bill Shanley, celebrates 60 years of his music in a sold-out show at the Harrogate Theatre.
Gilbert O'Sullivan plays Harrogate Theatre on Friday 30 October, part of his UK tour. He'll be joined on stage by guitarist Bill Shanley, and the show is billed as Celebrating 60 Years of Music.
O'Sullivan is one of the UK's most enduring singer-songwriters, a 1970s pop superstar who first broke through in 1970 with Nothing Rhymed. Over more than five decades he's released 21 studio albums and landed 16 Top 40 records, six of which hit number one. Among the classics are Clair, Get Down and Alone Again (Naturally), the latter of which spent six weeks at the top of the US charts and earned him three Grammy nominations. He also picked up three Ivor Novello Awards, including Songwriter of the Year in 1973.
Born in Waterford and now living in Jersey, he still sports his trademark curly hair, which he insists he never had permed. He writes all his songs on an Epstein grand piano and plays an RD 1000 electric keyboard on stage, and he names old-time music hall and Spike Milligan as lyric influences. The show comes as he's about to release On The Record, his third new album in four years, which holds 13 new songs and a duet with Andrea Corr.
