One of a number
of Hugh’s
recordings which
he has kindly
donated to the
school music
library
Among Hugh’s other achievements at school was a coldly
frightening performance of Thomas Becket’s intellectual fourth
temptation in the 1976 production of ‘Murder in the Cathedral’.
He is to the extreme left of the picture, in the part of Fourth
Knight. Niall McCullough, hand on altar, is to his right
Individual performers tend to be better known
than musicians who have given no less of their lives
to music. Niall O’Loughlin (’75), who left Gonzaga
the year before Hugh, has been a cellist with leading
orchestras, including the RTESO, since he left. He has
been lead cellist in that orchestra for many years.
