🎶 Style & Influences
O’Callaghan’s music is firmly rooted in the tradition of The Dubliners, particularly Luke Kelly’s fiery delivery and Ronnie Drew’s gravelly warmth. Critics note he blends these influences with a modern sensibility, often writing about emigration, working-class life, and social change in Ireland today.
Musically, his arrangements remain simple—banjo, guitar, whistle, and bodhrán—with emphasis on singalong choruses and strong storytelling.
