JOHN FEATHERSTONE

Franco-British composer, guitarist, singer and arranger, based in Paris.

From a solo repertoire on 7-string guitar to multi-choir works, John specialises in reconciling styles and traditions, history and modernity.

John has recorded 15 CDs of his own music and his collaborative work is extensive. Performance contexts include theatres and cathedrals as well as churches, prisons, bars, and people’s front rooms.

A highlight of his career was acting as music director in 2013 for a televised service uniting the Protestant church throughout France, held at the 15,000 seater Bercy Stadium in Paris. This involved arranging for, and conducting, a 1000-strong choir and 47 piece orchestra.
