‘Absolutely stunning. Johnny is one of the most talented musicians I have come across.’
Peter Hooton, The Farm
As co-founder of the celebrated Liverpool band Groundpig, O'Connell has his name indelibly written into the tapestry of the city’s music scene. Born and raised in Everton, his early influences were rooted in acoustic, folk and classical guitar. Grossman, Jansch, Renbourn and Carthy all inspire O'Connell and ignited his passion for music. It is these early influences that delicately resonate through his performances, where he mixes his own original songs with timeless instrumental guitar classics.
