SEAN REGANBorn in Manchester in 1971 to Irish parents, Sean grew up amidst an already vibrant traditional Irish music scene, fuelled by thousands of Irish that moved to the UK in the late fifties and early sixties. Of course, this diaspora was not just confined to the North West of England, but affected every major city in the UK.
At work and in the pubs and clubs the Irish came together, music was like a glue and played a major part in strengthening connections and friendships whilst away from home . At the same time Manchester was a melting pot of all cultures, these were the halcyon days of Manchester's pop rock culture, and the city was literally alive with every kind of music imaginable. In the early nineties, Sean joined Manchesters Celtic Rocks Powerhouse (Toss The Feathers) teaming up with flautist Michael McGoldrick. Touring all over UK and Europe USA playing up to 200 gigs a year and recording the Critically acclaimed Album The Awakening in 1993 Moving to Ireland in 2003 -2010 Sean joined world renowned Singer Sean Keane, recording on his highly acclaimed You Got Gold album in 2006.
