About Me
Welcome to Mike O’Reilly official website.
Profile
I’m Mike O’Reilly
I’m as passionate about music and teaching even more so today than when I started my journey back in the late 1980’s. I’ve toured 18 different countries and played alongside some of the world’s top musicians. I love teaching, composing and producing my own music.
