40 years of Sights & Sounds by Denis O' Sullivan

August Edition - The Show that was..

Denis O' Sullivan • Aug 10, 2022

My first show in 5 years...

It is all now consigned to the annals of history but I will keep the memory of the night of 17th June 2022 close to my heart forever more! Even the build up to the event was relaxed and easy going, I made sure of that for my own mental health's sake! Too many mistakes and falling outs of the past to draw wisdom from and the potential for stress and anxiety was strong considering all that had happened in the 5 years since I last performed my show. No, I was going to enjoy every moment as best I could.

The night itself was just magical! I was as prepared as I could be..

We had a wonderful audience, lots of family and friends turned out to show their support and the atmosphere was electric before it even started so the omens were good for the night

First up was my good friend Ivan Peter Pawle..

Ivan Peter Pawle is one of the founder members of the legendary Dr Strangely Strange. The Universe brought us together for this event and so began a lifelong friendship. Ivan is a beautiful soul with boundless energy and has inspired me from the moment I met him! His set was magical, see the video of clips for yourself, he enchanted us all with a selection of his songs and compositions and was also highly entertaining in between!

To say I was nervous going on would be the understatement of the year but I was also grounded, present and enjoying the buzz around the place. I had done all could do to make this happen so now was the time to step up and do my thing! There were lots of frustrating moments throughout the show with dodgy remote controls, the projector not behaving as it should, forgotten lines and guitar parts, mistakes left right and centre BUT it all worked out just fine in the end! The audience loved it! I made a short video of clips of the show, see above.

After the break my good friend & co collaborator El Bruno joined me on stage for a guitar duet called "Dance Of The Ancients",

I really enjoyed that jam! See it in the video.

And for the grand finale of the night I was joined on stage by Ivan and El Bruno to perform Dr Strangely Strange's "Sign on my mind"

I couldn't have wished for a better return after 5 years!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us on the night!

I am eternally grateful to Ivan and Bruno and to all the wonderful people

in The Carnegie Arts Centre, Kenmare for making this magical event happen!


I am delighted to announce that we will be returning to
The Carnegie Theatre to do it all again on 17th September!


My next show is in The Michael J Quill Centre, Kilgarvan on 20th August

with

Kill't Shtöne Ded

&

Ivan Peter Pawle

So that ends this edition of my blog, thank you for dropping by!

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of my blog! 2020 has been a year like no other and with no end in sight to our current plight it is important to keep on keeping on with the the belief that one day soon we will once again find ourselves in a World where we can move about freely and meet and hold each other without fear, that is a day we will welcome with open arms. In the meantime we are blessed with technology which enables us to communicate with each other like never before. This too will pass and we will get through it!

2020 has been a turbulent year, to put it mildly, containing events that have changed my life forever. The year began with dreams and plans of touring but that was soon brought to a halt when I was informed that I needed a hip replacement so I adapted to survive, what's another year I told myself. Soon after that came the Covid-19 virus and with it a total Worldwide lockdown. Life as we knew it has changed forever and as we're still in the middle of it who knows how it's going to turn out? Once again I adapted to survive. It's what we do or we die. Humanity has shone it's brightest lights during this time and there is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of this time to bring about much needed change in our society, only time will tell I guess. More recently though and by far the most difficult event for me to adapt to, and still is, was the passing of my Mother.
