O'Connor has received numerous awards including a Grammy Award and multiple CMA awards.

The Hub is a landmark building in Edinburgh city centre, situated at the top of the Royal Mile. Originally built between 1844 and 1846 as the Tollbooth Church for the Relief Church, it served as a municipal building for much of the 20th century housing Edinburgh City Council. In 1999, following extensive refurbishment undertaken as part of the Millennium Link project, it was repurposed as a centre for performing arts and events. The building's distinctive conical spires are a prominent feature of Edinburgh’s skyline.
