Simply stunning Declan! I had the great pleasure of watching you perform at the Edinburgh Festival and was blown away. A truly enchanting and powerful performance. Made my day for sure!
A game named The Board Game Online brought me to this video and I'm so glad it did. Wow, I can't even begin to describe how your music inspires me. Amazing job.
Approaching brilliance, as usual. Kudos for being a skilled acoustic guy who doesn't write a bunch of "lay 'er down by the fire" music like Andy McKee et al.
Hi Declan....Yesterday, I"found" you on YT. You are a brilliant classicalguitar player. By far, one of the best i've ever heard. An inspiration for me. Thank you!
Can't believe how time has flown since posting this video, its taken WAY longer than it should have but I'm very pleased to announce a self-published 24-page version of the score is now available for order on my website! Also available as a digital download for people who just want a noodle!:0) declanzapala.com/shop/
Known you for a few years now but in quarantine I’ve started to try learning the bass Guitar. I’ve now found a serious appreciation of how much work you put into your craft after watching how you work the instrument. Wow! Blown away 👌
That tune and your playing is a great example of the new breed of players inhabiting planet Earth...KUDOS to you sir! That is/was harmonically beautiful, compositionally musical, and tonally pleasing on all levels...
Love it, a great piece Dec. It's got that kind of joy in the background that makes you want to smile. Makes me think of people working in potato fields having a laugh as they are doing their job. :-) x

Just amazing. Great composition. Stunning.
Thanks so much Jon! I know we're sort of on talking terms, but a comment like that from you still gets me slightly starstruck and giddy...
Loved your concerts on MS Bolette! Keep up the good work.
I showed this to my mom and she couldn't speak. She just started tearing up and hugged me. You're a wonderful musician, Declan.
Pete D Thanks so much for your comment Pete. Means a lot to me! Love to you and your mum!
Great Declan! I remember those non slip pads from Owlsworld :)

First heard this at the concert in January in Colchester and it's stayed in my head constantly. Absolutely gorgeous. :)

Beautiful writing, mind-boggling execution and great engineering, superb work Declan!
