John Feeley was described as ‘Ireland’s leading classical guitarist’ by The Washington Post, which also judged his CD “The Immigrant’s Song” to be the best classical guitar CD of 2013. He has won several prizes in international competitions and performed with major orchestras throughout the world. In recent years he has specialised in arrangements of J.S. Bach, which have been viewed over seven million times online. He has been awarded a PhD from Maynooth University for a dissertation on contemporary Irish music. His performances of Irish airs receive high praise for their subtlety, brilliance and originality.
