In a crisp cold summers evening Cara O’ Sullivan, Peter Corry and the Garda band entertained a near full house in UCC’s Quad. In a superbs evenings entertainment Cara’s relaxed demeanor and Peter Corry interacting with the crowd like a native from Cork the crwod warmed to the evening despite the cooler temperatures.
Cara’s voice was a pleasure to hear and she sang a range of classic opera numbers along with crowd pleasers like her final Stand Up and Fight which had the crowd on their feet as if they were at Thomond Park. Peter showed his West End experience with some entrancing numbers from musicals like Les Miserables and Gilbert & Sullivan.
The two together carried off one of the “In The Quads” to date and the students from Ballyphehane added a beautiful addition to the concert when they sang.
Last but not least The Garda Band is bursting with talent rom falutists to singers with their Michael Bublé singer raising one of the loudest applause of the night and the first cries of encore from the crowd.
Well done to Pat Cotter and all the team for once again bringing one of the highlights of the Cork summer entertainment calendar to us again. Already looking forward to next year.
