Co. Wicklow singer-songwriter Fionn Regan returned with his first record for five years in 2024, O Avalanche. His seventh in a near 20 year career which has seen Fionn nominated for the Choice Prize and Mercury Prize and collaborating with Bon Iver and Cillian Murphy!

‘In O Avalanche, Fionn Regan offers a quietly powerful experience. Although it’s a departure in some ways, it retains the essence of his signature style: a folk heart wrapped in atmospheric production. Fans of his earlier albums will find much to appreciate, while new listeners may discover in Regan a rare voice capable of bridging vulnerability and resilience with every softly sung note. This album is a testament to Regan’s enduring creativity and willingness to explore new territory without losing the authenticity that has always defined his music.’

Fionn Regan has fine-tuned a sensibility of his own since the acoustic poetry of his debut album, 2006’s Mercury-shortlisted The End of History. Since then, he has travelled between band-based detours and the gleaming likes of 2011’s 100 Acres of Sycamore, whose worry-worn beauty “Dogwood Blossom” drew new audiences when it found kindred spirits in two TV shows, romantic lockdown hit Normal People and Shane Meadows’s This Is England 86.

Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy featured in the video for 2017’s “The Meeting Of The Waters” while elsewhere Regan has been nominated for Choice, Meteor Ireland and Shortlist awards, sampled by Bon Iver, photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair and made an honorary member of the Trinity College Literary Society.

“I feel really lucky in the sense that the music I make has its own climate or landscape,” says Regan.
