Sean Deegan is a proper original singer songwriter with Irish roots. He takes his influences from classic artists and this shows in his work. With the help of his partner Sharon a lo-fi album of heartfelt, tear jerking and beautiful ballads has been born. These songs will touch you whatever genre of music you like. They are filled with real life issues and raw emotion that brings a lump to the listener’s throat at the same time as lifting them up. Sean combines traditional Irish tinged folk with modern acoustic pop/rock, lush strings and warm uplifting almost gospel backing vocals.  His stunning debut album “ The Roads you take” featuring the single “ Find my way” is out on 30 July 2007 through Matchbox Recordings.

 HISTORY 

Music has always been a part of Sean Deegan's life, although born in the UK his parents originated from Ireland and so growing up in an Irish family automatically gave him qualifications in providing entertainment at family gatherings, as well as joining in with countless renditions of Irish Folk Music.

At 13 and using some money he was given for his birthday he purchased his first album - Gilbert O’ Sullivan’s Greatest Hits.  At 15 he went to work in a fruit shop at the weekends and started to use his "income" to really get his music collection going, starting with The Beatles singles and moving on to their albums. He claimed an old guitar that his mum had bought at a jumble sale for 50p which was lying around the house and got himself a Beatles song book. He kept practicing the chords and discovered with joy the excitement of playing music. His musical journey had begun. 

Drawing from the magical sounds and inspirational characters that the late 60’s and early 70’s were blessed with such as Bob Dylan, Lennon & McCartney & Simon & Garfunkel, Sean started to create his own songs.

Creating and performing music either independently or as part of a band has continued over the years, and more recently his enthusiasm to become an established songwriter has been re-ignited. 

In his own words " The hands of time have provided me with valuable experience which has allowed me to grow and develop, building songs that are inspired by the classic songwriters of the past and blending them with heartfelt lyrics taken from the experience of living in today’s world. Acoustically led songs built from the solid foundation of classic pop song structure".   Check out the websites: http://www.matchboxrecordings.co.uk/artists/seandeegan.htm  And http://www.deegansongs.com for interviews, news and audio samples.   For more info contact: daleo@matchboxrecordings.co.uk or call 01865 741 802
