Regan was invited to speak and made an ‘Honorary Member’ by the Trinity College Dublin Literary Society, its chairman saying, “In his music, Mr. Regan has done more than many artists to erode the boundaries between music and literature, with his lyrics always possessing the most beautiful poetry." He was granted their GOLD MEDAL in honour of his achievements. Fionn was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair magazine’s prestigious ‘music portfolio.’ Fionn was invited to perform “Hunters Map” on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (NBC), the intricate finger-picking style of this song being one of the host’s personal favorites. Oscar winning actor Cillian Murphy appeared alongside Fionn in the music video for his song “The Meetings of the Waters” (60 million streams worldwide).

Regan has toured extensively worldwide, playing many festivals around the world, including the Glastonbury Festival, Hyde Park (London), Electric Picnic (Ireland), Popkomm (Germany), SXSW (Austin), XPoNential Music Festival (Camden, New Jersey), Austin City Limits (Austin, Texas), Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (San Francisco), Summercase and Benicassim (Spain), and the Laneways Festival (Australia). With a fast-growing number of celebrity and movie star fans, his songs have been effectively placed in films, commercials and television shows (Grey’s Anatomy, etc.).
