Regan can be sassy and scruffy, or quiveringly sincere, but he's never uninteresting. Words and images tumble out – we infer that he's a fool for love, but a cynical one – and by the end, you're thoroughly dazzled
The Guardian ****
Angry, funny, relevant and summed up in one line, "You curse the darkness/ And I'll strike a match".
The independent****
After folky troubadour beginnings, his second album keys into the rollicking energy of vintage rock 'n’ roll, while also forging a unique, observational and genuinely beat-poetic lyrical vocabulary. Terrific stuff.
Telegraph****
Likened to a young Bob Dylan by those lost for a better way to describe a talented singer-songwriter-His material certainly stands up to the test
Mail on Sunday****
One of the defining Irish albums of our generation
Limerick leader*****
A brilliantly bold, robust work, showcasing real development and the kind of graceful erudition that places Regan squarely ahead of the curve.
BBC Review
“Regan’s masterly progress is best exemplified by the title track, a simple stately anthem to decay that rings the righteousness of pre-judas Dylan”
Word Magazine
This signifies a great talent shedding labels, spreading wings and moving on.
Metro
“A playful authenticity, sparse eloquence, you can’t fault the voice ”
NME
“Well developed melodies and striking lyrics, he remains a formidable wordsmith ”
OHM
“A music hall snapshot of 21st century life”

Ah Fionn, it's been awhile since I've been on MySpace and I logged on today to see what was new with you. Your voice has really matured and is even more beautiful than before! I saw you several years ago when you played an in-store at Sonic Boom Records here in Seattle. I've been a fan since then. I really love the new music you've put up, especially The Shadow Of An Empire. Hope you can make another US tour soon and put Seattle on the itinerary! All the best to you!
I wish the green man festival tickets weren't so expensive! It's only up the road from me, but I have no money, so unfortunately, I won't be seeing you soon :|
Dear Fionn Regan, You are one massive inspiration to me. You are one of the reasons why I started writing folk music again; getting my violin back out and finger-picking the strings of my acoustic till my fingers were raw and singing about love and heartbreaks, as opposed to the evil bass lines and heavy break beats, the screechy synths and the scratchy samples I used to create on my computer. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Chi
..In moments of being unable to sleep I switched the on the t.v. and there you were. Unexpected, but certainly not unwelcome. Great little show about your new album. Please come and play in Glasgow again soon. Hope the tour has been treating you well. Best wishes, Aimee x
Dear fans of Fionn Regan, I am a singer/songwriter from Maryland. If you could check out two of my songs "Silent Street" and "Circuits," I would appreciate it. If you don’t for any reason that’s fine. If you do though, let me know whatsup.. Thanks, Scott. Ordinary Island.
