Bio
Whilst working as a medical student in a bush hospital in Africa, Eoghan contracted a near-fatal dose of malaria. His only comfort was a cassette of Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' - a fate that changed his life. With a voice now endlessly compared to Jeff Buckley, Eoghan's near death experience became a calling to music.
