Stripped back and beautifully restrained, the performance allowed Feehily’s unmistakable voice to take centre stage. Every note carried quiet strength and vulnerability, while The Sixty Five’s subtle, atmospheric backing added depth without overpowering the emotion of the song.

Originally made famous by Westlife, “Flying Without Wings” has always been about hope, resilience, and finding meaning in unexpected places. In this rendition, Feehily brought fresh maturity to the lyrics, delivering them with lived-in emotion that resonated deeply with listeners.

Fans praised the performance for its honesty and simplicity, calling it “chilling,” “timeless,” and “a reminder of how powerful real vocals can be.” Rather than relying on spectacle, the moment succeeded through connection — between the artist, the music, and the audience.
