‘I am proud of my roots’: Musician Gilbert O’Sullivan conferred with Freedom of Waterford

Gilbert O'Sullivan said that his late mother would have been over the moon to see her him receive the honour which was presented by Mayor of Waterford Cllr Joe Conway. Photograph: Noel Browne-born singer songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan said that his late mother, May, was at the forefront of his mind as he was conferred with the Freedom of his native city and county on Wednesday evening.

“I am proud of my roots. The fact that I only lived here until I was eight-year-old certainly never stopped me, as I got older, from coming back.”‘My colleague has said she’s having marital difficulties. Worryingly, it includes physical abuse’ Mayor of Waterford Joe Conway paid tribute to O’Sullivan, who he said had made “an indelible mark” on the music world.

“Gilbert has carved out a remarkable career with his unique melody, wit and surreal humour earning global success and critical acclaim. He is now hailed as one the great singer songwriters acclaimed by a diverse range of artists.”
