Gilbert O’Sullivan

Just Gilbert

Gilbert O'Sullivan laughing, looking away from the camera

The veteran songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan performs a career-spanning solo evening to celebrate the release of his latest album Driven.

With kitchen-sink lyrics and a pervading melodic sensibility, his songs are sometimes funny, often poignant and always captivating. Here, they are stripped back – alone at the piano, O’Sullivan reaches through his back catalogue, picking favourites from an outstanding career.

O’Sullivan is enjoying something of a late-career flourish – his self-titled 2018 album cracked the UK top 20; Driven, coming out in summer 2022, picks up on that creative momentum. Tonight, these new wonders are presented alongside classics such as ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’, ‘Clair’ and ‘Nothing Rhymed’.

Start time: 7.30pm

Approximate running time: 150 mins plus 20 minute interval.

This performance will finish at approximately 10.30pm.
