Declan Flannery Music

Absolutely honoured to have my music included with this bud. The pieces looks incredible, amazing work!

Great night playing at The Theatre Royal's Green Room for the launch of their new restaurant menu. The food looked incredible so get yourselves down there!

Fantastic night at Bonner's Newcastle last week for their event with the insanely good Joe Webb, absolutely outrageously talented player in a showroom that continues to impress every time I go there! I believe Joe and I may have the same hairdresser too! 🤣

In between a hundred and one different gigs, I got to watch the great Jean-Efflam Bavouzet perform Ravel yesterday at The Sage. I have been lucky enough to meet Maestro Bavouzet on multiple occasions, and was even pretty for many of his Chandos recordings. A simply transcendent pianist.

As it turns out seven gigs in three days is too many gigs 😂

Most venue closures don’t happen because no one turns up. They happen because someone bought the building next door, submitted a planning application, and didn’t want to hear people milling around after 10pm.

YouTube video by Declan Flannery Evergreen 2025 - Original Composition

Finally got around to recording a new version of my original composition Evergreen in the studio!

Back in the studio!

Was rehearsing some great choral music yesterday!

Back in Newcastle for NESSOC rehearsals!

Just got the go ahead to start working on something very cool!

James Mulligan has issued a copyright strike against my YouTube channel for reporting his usage of genAI to create comic covers and Disney Lorcana cards.

This is a blatant misuse of YouTube's copyright system and a shallow attempt at burying his genAI usage.

I'm not sure what to do next...

Great time yesterday rehearsing in a friend's new studio!

Haha yeah it comes and goes, I know my way around MIDI pretty well but I'm no expert so knocking things up with just the piano is often quicker and easier, especially since solo piano stuff means I can perform it on my own. Every so often I'll get a few comms come through at the same time though!

Time for strings!

Back in the office!

It was another great rehearsal with The Gibside Singers on Monday, they're sounding fantastic!

So many takes...

Back in the studio!

New choir rep for tonight!

Was back in Blyth with Ashington and District Male Voice Choir to work on their new repertoire over the weekend!

Was back in the office today!

Was back in Blyth for another rehearsal with Ashington & District Male Voice Choir yesterday at the Yamaha Music School. Always a great place to work!

Incredible rehearsal with The Gibside Singers tonight, they're starting to sound really quite excellent!

Today's office wasn't bad!

Great day back at the Bonners Piano Showroom in Newcastle yesterday for an evening with the amazing Mike Patrick!

Off to the Bonners Piano Showroom in Newcastle today who are hosting an evening event with Mike Patrick!

Ahh thanks bud, you're far too kind! There's always going to be assholes out there sadly I suppose, I am lucky that a vast majority of the folks I interact with regularly are awesome people!

Yeah, some of them were real pieces of work!
