charts. It was also nominated for the Meteor Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year 2012 The Irish Times said of Clocks, "Feeney's stately pomp and charged intimacy that sums up Clocks best: both warm and weird, but incontestably individual". Hot Press proclaimed that Feeney's Clocks was a "superb third album from Ireland's national treasure". The Sunday Business Post said that, "Clocks is the best of her hugely impressive body of work. Evocative, full with subtly enticing key changes and telling story after story, this is sparse, reverent and varied stuff, but still accessible enough to fall under the genre heading of pop. Feeney has elements of trad, or at least thoughtful traditionalism, in her sound and lyrics: opener Dear John offers a moving take of her grandparents' simple courtship. At its best, Clocks is nearly flawless". Clocks was crowd-funded by 204 funders on Irish website Fundit and it is currently so far the most successful music project on the website. A 2012 live performance from her 10-night run in New York City received a stellar review in The New York Times from chief pop music critic Jon Pareles. Compositional work Feeney has been commissioned by Festival Firsts, a co-producing network between Galway Arts Festival, Dublin Theatre Festival, Cork Midsummer Festival and Kilkenny Arts Festival to compose her first opera "Bird" and the first developmental stage was presented at Dublin Theatre Festival in October 2012. The second developmental stage was performed at a sold-out performance in Galway at Galway Arts Festival in 2013. Her instrumental compositions have been performed by Crash Ensemble and Icebreaker, and she composed and performed in an orchestral song cycle version of her first album 13 songs for her solo with the Ulster Orchestra at the Waterfront Hall at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. She scored a song cycle for the RTÉ Concert Orchestra of her second album pages and this was broadcast live from RTÉ Radio studios on the JK Ensemble live on RTÉ lyric fm on 14 October 2010 as part of RTÉ Music Week. She performed her own self-orchestrated songs with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra from the National Concert Hall in May 2010 on 'Mooney Goes Wild' broadcast live on RTÉ Radio 1 and on 'Sunday Miscellany' on RTÉ Radio 1 broadcast live on 13 December 2011. She has subsequently also orchestrated her third album Clocks for the RTÉ Concert Orchestra
