Fionn to make you go mmmmmm...
Hot tipped hot shot for 2003 Fionn Regan released EP
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 12 Dec 2002
Fionn Regan launches into the New Year with the January 20 release of Reservoir, a four-tracker featuring 'Red Lane', 'Noah (Ghost In A Street)', 'After The Fall' and the supremely wistful title-cut.
Originally from Bray but now based in Brighton, Regan is allied to the same independent that unearthed Turin Breaks, Anvil Records.
As well as supporting the Break boys, he's also been out on UK tour with Gemma Hayes and embarks on his own headlining trek in February.
We think the lad's going to be ginormous, and will be talking to him very, very soon in Hotpress.

2006-10-04 - REVIEW
For a few years now, Regan has been accumulating gradual credit with the music business, climbing to a point where he can enlist former Cocteau Twin Simon Raymonde to mix his album. Such input is largely absent here, ‘Put A Penny In The Slot’ being a very simple acoustic track that doesn’t bother itself with such things as choruses, hooks or a hugely memorable melody. Nice enough but not really good enough.
