John O’ Connell is a rare talent, even on the coldest of nights to hit the Merseyside area in years, he managed to pack out the Gladstone Theatre in Port Sunlight and perform to a crowd that was craving intelligent and thought provoking music.

In a career that has spanned the best part of the last thirty years John is steeped in the musical history of the city of Liverpool, notably through the legendary band Groundpig and for his weekly tenure in O’Neil’s where he can be seen plying his trade to great admiration.
