Thanks to The Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society, Inc. Fairfield, CT for this photo, which was taken by one of their volunteers.

This is what Tim Quinn of the Society has to say:

"We believe that our Jan 6 2001 concert which paired Jerry O'Sullivan with Tony Cuffe was one of Tony's last appearances. What a night it was, we had to turn people away due to overcrowding our favorite venue, The Pequot Library, SouthPort, CT. I can still hear Tony singing, 'When first I went to Caledonia, I got loading at number 3...'

We mourn his passing as a great loss to the music and to the world of a gentle soul full of music."
