Back on track
FIONN REGAN doesn’t like to hang about. “I put together my new album on a four-track recorder and wanted to release it straight away,” he says. “I am not interested in waiting for no good reason. That period between when a record is complete and when it appears is very frustrating to me. You want to get on with things.”
He speaks from experience. The Bray singer-songwriter received a Mercury Prize nomination for his 2006 LP, The End of History. But the follow-up was delayed nearly two years because of a falling out with his (now former) label. It was a terribly frustrating period. People worried he had come down with writer’s block. That the pressure had got to him. He is determined never to put himself in that situation again.
