Read Description:

Honest, rich folk of the highest calibre.

Fionn Regan is an Irish singer songwriter from County Wicklow, haivng crafted a rich folk sound, citing influences from artists such as Nick Drake and Bob Dylan. His debut release “The End Of History” was nominated for a Mercury prize in 2007, and second release “Shadow Of An Empire” saw Regan develop his musical style by upping the tempo and adding electrical instrumentation.

Fionn now returns with his latest release "100 Acres Of Sycamore". The eponymous single sees him move away from the electric-Americana of "Shadow Of An Empire" and back to his acoustic roots. Adding some lush orchestration along the way for good measure. Fionn’s trademark vocals are the centre of attention here – his lyrical prowess as evident as ever. Featuring some truly breathtaking songwriting, this album is bound to storm the 'Best of' lists at the end of the year.
