The Album "The Tune" Egan says represents a Major turning point in his Life following hard on the heels of the passing not only of both his Parents but also signalling the end of a period of retreat following the death of his long time Collaborator Richard "Woody Sagoo" Mc-Donald with whom he wrote and worked on an Album of Songs with which is as yet Unreleased due to Woody's sudden passing while it was in progress.. "The Tune" also represents a re-commitment by Mr Egan to consistent Live work. Its been a long time coming but it will be followed later this year by a New Album both releases on Egan's own Slinky Vibe Label. Fearghal Mc-Kee of seminal Irish Post Punk Band (Whipping Boy) came out of self-imposed retirement in June 2009 specially to play Egan's Return Gig. Renowned for working with Musicians across a wide range of Disciplines Egan says "It is a great pleasure to be creating the kind of Music I have always wanted to create and on my own Terms".
