From the organizers: Please join St. Paul’s in welcoming Irish recording artists Tommy and Saundra O’Sullivan for an evening of traditional and original Irish music. Tommy and Saundra own, manage and perform at O’Sullivan’s Courthouse Pub in Dingle on the wind-swept southwest coast of Ireland, a renowned center for Irish Folk Music. Tommy is a master guitarist with “A tenor voice that has all the ring of Waterford crystal which has only ever served smokey whiskey”– Sean Laffey, Irish Music Magazine. His wife and musical partner Saundra hails from Texas and was a nurse in her former life. Of them, the prolific Irish music reviewer Nicky Rossiter said: “The husband-and-wife team from Dingle must surely be the best exponents of what Irish folk should be.” If all goes as planned, Tommy and Saundra will be joined by local Irish musicians and maybe even dancers! Please join us for a memorable event. St. Paul’s Cathedral is a San Diego architectural treasure and wonderful acoustic venue. The O’Sullivan’s concert series is sponsored in part by a travel grant from Culture Ireland.

California’s only native sunfish, Sacramento perch, was once so abundant it was a regular staple in San Francisco’s markets. But its numbers declined with the introduction of non-native fish in the early 20th century and today it exists in little more than a couple dozen isolated lakes.

The jump is 12% more than the year before and came as rents and inflation skyrocketed. The increase was driven by families and those who lost housing for the first time.
