Biography
Niall Hunt is a Classical Guitarist, Bassist, Bandleader and performer whose music blends together the soulful spirit of Jazz and Blues with the expressive nuance of Classical and Latin traditions. His distinct sound- rich in harmony, rhythm and emotion- reflects years of dedicated study and exploration.
During his time at Paul McCartney's LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts), Niall discovered his passion for Classical guitar. Niall has captivated audiences throughout the UK performing at dozens of venues including The Barbican Centre, The New Theatre Royal and The Falkirk Stadium.
In 2023, Niall founded the Latin ensemble 'Casa Nuestra', a 4-piece acoustic band performing the best of Latin American music. Casa Nuestra had the privilege of sharing the stage with Cuban Legend and Buena Vista Social Club founder, Eliades Ochoa, to a sold out Barbican Centre in 2025. He also performs as a solo wedding guitarist, combining classical and popular styles to beautifully accompany newly-weds down the aisle and guests at drink receptions.
Whether on stage, teaching, or in the studio, Niall's mission remains the same: to connect people through the language of the guitar.

"An absolutely amazing and extremely talented guitarist! Niall did not disappoint and all of our guests were blown away. Thankyou for performing at our special day! We would definitely recommend."
Craig Burrows (Venue Manager)
"Niall's technical mastery was evident in every note, a seamless blend of precision and artistry. Each chord resonated with a depth of emotion that truly captivated our audience. My favourite piece being Niall's version of the Fleetwood Mac song 'Albatross', such finesse but played with a deep passion, truly beautiful."
