Cathie O’Sullivan was (& sometimes still is) a consummate performer who refuses to be pigeon-holed. She is one of those rare singers who can take the listener on a musical voyage with a voice charged with the ornamentation and beauty of Australia’s Celtic heritage. As a songwriter she explored the poetry of both the rural and the urban environment with original compositions like ‘Cameron Quartermain’ and, at the same time, entered creative partnerships with such noted wordsmiths as David Campbell, R.F. Brissendon and A.B.Paterson. Add to this heady brew her inspired music played on the brass-strung Celtic harp.
Originally released in 1996, ‘Dark Pleasures & Angels’ is her sixth album and offers some truly wonderful music including a choral work drawn from Maori poetry and the art of Ralph Hotere and Colin McCahon. There is also Cathie’s original music for ‘Inside Dry Water’ where inspiration came from Arthur Boyd’s ‘Bride In The Bush’ series.
Cathie O’Sullivan was an integral part of The Larrikins, has two degrees and a Ph.D in literature and art; is a fine tin whistle player and a mother to boot!
Cathie O’Sullivan’s music is timeless as it salutes the past and rides into the future.
