What the Press are saying...
"Its easy to put singer/songwriters into one box and shove it under your
bed!
But that would be a mistake with Eoin Coughlan, his songs are
wonderfully beautiful
short stories, that are a joy to listen to." Alison Curtis, Today FM
"Coughlan avoids the worn-out formula of a half-dozen chords and a world-weary voice, instead magicking "Blood in Vein" into a more sophisticated and adventurous approach to the musicianly songwriter's vocation" Hot Press
"Lyrics that Dylan would be proud of..." The Scene
"Breaking the mould of singer-songwriters, this man cuts to the quick" The Irish Times
"Strong song writing, impassioned deliveries that find the singer lost in emotion, and a romantic motif got Van pretty far in life and Coughlan has all of this and more" The Irish Voice
"Blood In Vein rates high among the top 5 of Irish debuts in the last couple of years. Eoin's powerful storytellingability complimented by superb tunes made the songs must plays on a regular basis on the Late Show on BBC Radio Ulster. The Leaves and Then I'll Go To Sleep being stand out tracks for me alongside the driven Cutting Down Laws. A compelling live performer who has pleanty more to give. Ag tnúth leis an darna chnuasacht! Karen Kirby BBC
The Arrangements and the production take the album, beyond the clichéd guitar-based simplicity of the genre. One can't avoid hearing the echoes of Paul Simon's delicate craftwork, melodic phrasing and precise vocalising… Lyrics that evoke the spiritual…" Jackie Hayden (hot press)
"Move over Damien Rice, there's some new talent in town!" hot press single review
"Causing the blood to pulsate with his live performance…" Sligo Champion
"Eoin Coughlan alternates between a blistering rocker, unabashedly romantic, gentle and conversational to a soaring that brings Jeff Buckley to mind…" Evening Herald
"Honest song writing and delicate tunefulness…8/10" The Clare People

Limerick based musician Eoin Coughlan has released his long awaited debut album 'Blood in Vein' produced by Dave Odlum. This is a collection of eleven self-penned songs and features the guest vocals of Damien Dempsey, Gemma Hayes, Ann Scott and Annette Buckley.
Eoin would also be recognized on the Traditional Irish Music Scene as the former front man with internationally acclaimed group Nomos.
Blood in Vein, while of a contemporary genre, showcases his driving rhythmical guitar playing which complements his unique lyrical and vocal talent.
Having cut his teeth at the International Bar song-writing sessions fronted by Dave Murphy, Eoin has more recently performed on stage alongside Gomez, Bryan Ferry, Emmy Lou Harris, and Billy Bragg.
Two songs from Blood in Vein have already been snapped up to feature prominently in the award winning movie Speed Dating.
Eoin will be touring extensively throughout Ireland in October and will also be appearing as special guest with Paddy Casey on his upcoming Irish tour.
