An ability to get under the skin of different characters and to convery these stories in song has won him songwriting and performance competitions (Celtic Connections 2006, Burnsong 2007).

The Scotsman says that Ferrard has "A fine voice with a sweet and supple delivery". Celtic Music Radio calls Ferrard "A singer-songwriter attuned to the times".
