 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".
In the last 2 years Sean has concentrated his efforts on creating the website www.deegansongs.com and producing an album of work to showcase his dreamy, melodic and emotional songs. Entry into the 2006 UK Songwriting Competition produced semi-final placements for 7 of his songs and the first 4 songs were described as “Excellent” with “Great commercial value”.
An invitation from Matchbox Recordings led to ‘Ease The Pain’ being commercially released on ‘The Big Indie Comeback Vol 2’. The song has also appeared on the Australian ILR World Indie Chart peaking at number 6.
“The Roads You Take” album is now released through Matchbox Recordings. Sean said " I am looking forward to the opportunity of reaching a wider audience, (as well as being thrilled of course to be working with the legend that is Dale Olivier!). ( Well thanks Sean we think he's Ok too except for that chest wig - Ed ) .
Sean Deegan is a proper original singer songwriter wth 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 listeners 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. Truly wonderful ! - Matchbox Radio 24.
