Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra peformance at IFTA 2011 

So sad he has died. Thank you Mícheál.

RIP Michael.

Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin is the best thing to come out of Tipperary. Him, and the road to Cork...

RIP Mícheál Ó’Súilleabháin - It didnt get better than this - what a talent! Class Act!

Classy. Rest in peace.

RIP Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin...Laoch...One of a Kind...Musical Genius.

He was a genius on the piano’ and was a sort of Sean O’ Riada for our time. He was taken too soon’ and had more to offer.

An incredible composer and musician. Sadly missed.

Amazing musician and inspiring lecturer , in floods of tears watching this, RIP Micheal hope you continue to compose some great music up there xxx

The Irish "Oscar Peterson!" !!!! Brilliant mixture of Trad. and Jazz. R.I.P. fellow Tipperary man. Sleep peacefully.

I don’t know why but I find this so emotional & moving.

A gentleman. A musical treasure. And an inspiration to many of us. RIP.

Go hálainn ar fad...I always loved this piece from the first time I heard it...

More than awesone!!

Thanks for posting. I have a tape from long ago that I recorded of Mícheál Ó'Súilleabháin playing The Three Sea Captains accompanied on bodhrán on the radio programme, An Fáinne Óir. I became an immediate fan at that time. At last I have put a face to the name of this genius.

So lovely Michael

Just beatiful

What a gift guy👊 But a soul 😭

The first piece, Woodbrook has been for years the closing on Corks 96FM radio Sunday morning “Oldies and Irish” with Derry O’Callaghan. A beautiful composition. RIP Micheál.

I know the piece woodbrook in part was on some TV show but cannot remember which one. Does anyone know?

Go hiontach. RIP

RIP Micheal

What is the guy that joins him at 1:50 playing?

Does anyone know the name of the piece that start at 2:50 ?

I know Woodbrook is the name of the first song he played. What is the name of the second one?

A great loss to our culture. Ar dheis De go raibh a h-anam dhílís. Laoch Fíor den ceoil tradisiúnta

Go hálainn

I am A girl ( it is my dads computer ) and I thought is was OK

It was a big mistake having that clarinet player to try and 'duel' with Micheal O' Suilleabhain. Why do that? It only fucks up a great song. Oiche Nollag is a lovely song just as it is. This is typical RTE 'soviet' style of heavy handedness. As in....if we (RTE) are going to be 'involved' in all of this, then we will have to 'stamp' our authority all over this. Bullshit! They single-handedly ruined it with their 'stilted' version. Christ when will they ever learn!....that's it's not all about *RTE* That's it's actually about the *ARTISTS* that they are filming. Is it possible that RTE can get actually the hang of that? We live in hope....

Jesus, still touting the same old songs all these years later...
