Cathie O’sullivan, was the front woman,for folk band Summerhaze her voice is clear,high and striking and her instument of choice is the harp. Cathie is a very highly regarded singer and musician performing mainly in an Irish celtic style.

Apart from listening to her parents sing on country drives and 12 years of classical piano training, her most important musical influences were in the Irish Club in Sydney. At the time there were many Irish labourers working on building the city's expressway system, and they brought with them their fiddles and accordions. She was soon "firmly embedded" in the Irish music scene. "I was also a child, I must stress a young child, of the '60s."

Three of its singles reached the Top 20 including "Don't Go" (No. 4 in October), "Love an Adventure" (No. 6 in January 1986), and "Living in a Dream" (No. 15 in May).
