I would pronounce bhfear this way - I have "school" Irish.
I have come to realize that I use both Munster (I actually pronounce the N sound in words like cnoc and cnámh) and Ulster (súgradh as "sue-grew") and Connaught pronounciations, so make of that what you will.
There's a reason that FGB doesn't give pronunciation hints :-)
Tá ocras ar an bhfear óg - "the young man is hungry"
Tá fearg ar an bhfear óg - "the young man is angry"
Tá eagla ar an bhfear óg - "the young man is afraid"
Tá tinneas ar an bhfear óg - "the young man is ill"
ocras, fearg, eagla and tinneas are all nouns. "hungry", "angry", "afraid" and "ill" are all adjectives. tinn is an adjective.
