John Feeley and Fran O’Rourke have specialised in traditional songs (in English and Irish) that feature in the writings of James Joyce. They have given concerts in Shanghai, New York, Philadelphia, Princeton, San Diego and Washington.
In 2012 they gave a series of recitals with James Joyce’s own guitar, repair of which they sponsored. They have performed on Bloomsday for President Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin. Their CD “JoyceSong” is a live recording of a concert at the Princess Grace Library in Monaco on St Patrick’s Day 2015. Their CD of traditional songs in Irish, “Casadh na nAmhrán / Turning the Song” was chosen by the reviewer of Irish Music Magazine as his recording of the year.
John and Fran’s concert in TradFest will feature songs in both English and Irish, as well as original arrangements of traditional airs on guitar.
