Fearghal est originaire du Comt\u00e9 de Down en Irlande. Cela fait plus d’une vingtaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es qu\u2019il joue de la harpe celtique et une quinzaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es de la harpe classique. Suite \u00e0 ses \u00e9tudes universitaires \u00e0 Aberdeen, Fearghal reste habiter au nord-est de l\u2019\u00c9cosse, o\u00f9 il donne des cours particuliers de harpe et enseigne notamment aupr\u00e8s de l\u2019organisation Scottish Culture & Tradition<\/em><\/a>s<\/em><\/a> (SC&T).<\/a> Il est membre de nombreux orchestres \u00e0 Aberdeen, organise r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des concerts et travaille avec plusieurs groupes de ceilidh <\/em>(type de balk folk \u00e9cossais).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from County Down, Ireland, Fearghal has been playing traditional harp for over twenty years and classical harp for more than fifteen. After university studies in Aberdeen, he stayed on there, teaching both privately and with Scottish Culture & Tradition<\/em><\/a>s<\/em><\/a> (SC&T).<\/a> He also performed with many of the city\u2019s orchestras, gave multiple solo concerts, and worked with several ceilidh bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearghal est prim\u00e9 lors d\u2019un grand nombre de comp\u00e9titions de harpe en Irlande, \u00e0 savoir celle de Keadue dans le comt\u00e9 de Roscommon en 2008 et en 2015, et celles du Festival Pan-Celtique de Derry\/Londonderry et de Carlow en 2014, 2015 et 2018. De plus, il remporte en juin 2017 le troph\u00e9e du festival de musique d\u2019Aberdeen et du nord-est de l\u2019\u00c9cosse dans deux cat\u00e9gories, celle de musique traditionnelle \u00e9cossaise et celle d\u00e9di\u00e9e aux \u0153uvres du violoniste James Scott Skinner, la premi\u00e8re fois dans l\u2019histoire de cette comp\u00e9tition que le premier prix est d\u00e9cern\u00e9 \u00e0 un non-violoniste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, he has won many of Ireland\u2019s top harp competitions, including The Carolan Festival, Keadue, Co. Roscommon (2008 & 2015), as well as Senior Harp Solo and Voice with Harp at the Pan-Celtic Festival in Derry\/Londonderry (2014, 2015 and 2018) against competitors from the six Celtic nations. In 2017, he won the Traditional Open and James Scott Skinner Open sections of the Aberdeen and North-East Music Festival \u2013 the first time in the festival\u2019s history that a non fiddle-playing competitor had won the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearghal travaille \u00e9galement comme musicien entre 2010 et 2014 \u00e0 bord de la compagnie de croisi\u00e8res Swan Hellenic Cruises, ce qui lui permet ainsi de voyager jusqu’en Europe du Nord, en M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e, en Afrique, en Asie et m\u00eame de visiter certaines r\u00e9gions du Moyen-Orient. Il effectue notamment le tour de l\u2019Am\u00e9rique du Sud au d\u00e9but de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2014 \u00e0 la t\u00eate d\u2019un trio de musiciens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearghal also worked as a cocktail musician between 2010 and 2014 with Swan Hellenic Cruises, which enabled him to travel around Northern and Mediterranean Europe, Africa, Asia, and even parts of the Middle East. At the start of 2014, he completed a circumnavigation of South America with the company as the leader of a trio of musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearghal est d\u00e9sormais install\u00e9 pr\u00e8s de Chamb\u00e9ry, dans le sud-est de la France, o\u00f9 il enseigne la harpe celtique, donne des concerts et se produit avec des groupes de musique folklorique, comme par exemple Muztik<\/a> et la session irlandaise de l’AMTrad<\/a>. Il collabore r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement avec d’autres harpistes et organise annuellement la Journ\u00e9e de la Harpe en partenariat avec Harp Ireland. Il retourne \u00e9galement r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement l\u2019\u00c9cosse et l’Irlande pour y enseigner et organiser des concerts et des animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is currently based near Chamb\u00e9ry in the south-east of France, where he teaches, plays and tours with local groups, including AMTrad. He regularly collaborates with other harpists and organises the annual Harp Day there in conjunction with Harp Ireland. He also frequently returns to teach and perform in both Scotland and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearghal s\u2019int\u00e9resse tout particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 la musique du harpiste irlandais Turlough O\u2019Carolan, \u00e0 partir de laquelle il a sorti son premier CD fin 2011, et aux traditions musicales des pays celtiques. Il a aussi \u00e0 c\u0153ur de (re-)d\u00e9couvrir des \u0153uvres baroques oubli\u00e9es ou peu connues. A ce jour, il a compos\u00e9 une cinquantaine de morceaux et il a arrang\u00e9 de nombreux morceaux pour harpe seule et pour harpe et autres instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His main interests are the music of Turlough O\u2019Carolan, which served as the basis for his first CD in late 2011, traditional music from the Pan-Celtic countries, re-discovering forgotten or lesser-known works and baroque music for harp. In addition to a wide range of pieces which he has arranged for solo harp and harp\/mixed ensemble, he has composed around fifty tunes to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
