In the early 1970’s, Waterford-born Gilbert O’Sullivan was top of the international pop charts.  But in the mid 70’s his career began to wane and by the time he came out of a long legal dispute with his manager Gordon Mills, he had drifted into relative obscurity. Yet from his homes on Jersey and in Nashville, the 62 year-old O’Sullivan is still touring and recording, still songwriting as a proper Monday-to-Friday nine-to-five job, driven to achieve again the chart success he once had. Gilbert O’Sullivan - Out On His Own is a fascinating and witty portrait of an outspoken music man who refuses to retire, absolutely certain of his own value, ready to take on all detractors and critics, single-minded, self-aware and oddly engaging.

A Wildfire Films Production for RTÉ.
