About Me

After years of circling the void in his native Dublin (with his first attempt of a release, entitled "Brian Murphy", banned off RTE's airwaves), a 21 year old Eoin Glackin headed for London in late 2007 in search of the Rock n Roll dream.There, after moving between jobs like "indoor boomerang demonstrator" in toy shops and bar man he was dropped into the hands of top London producer John Reynolds (Sinead O'Connor, Damien Dempsey, U2).With often dark religious imagery subtly invoking a political consciousness rare in today’s pop arena ("Barabus Walked Free", "Heart Of Heart"), sitting along side rousing rock fist shakers ("Beat", "Hello Caroline") effortlessly, Eoin's body of work compliments this current economic climate like no other.Having spent the past couple of years supporting Damien Dempsey, Eoin is ready to step out of his mentors shadow and release his first single “Still” on February 16th.This will be followed by his debut album “The Wooden Spoon”, with a release date early this summer.Watch out for Eoin performing at The Think Tank (formerly the hub), Temple Bar on Friday April 3rd.EOIN GLACKIN- watch this space
