Episode 27: Colum Sanson-Regan

Colum Sanson-Regan is an Irish-born author and musician whose early career involved busking on the streets of Cork and Dublin. Not to mention his regular stint on Doctor Who, as David Tennant's double…

Colum has been making music professionally since he was 19. His first solo album, GO, enjoyed a spot in the top five download charts, and songs from it have been featured in documentaries, compilations, and educational materials. He regularly performs on the gig-scene in Cardiff, Wales.

He wrote his first novel, The Fly Guy, 6 years ago and at the end of last year, his short story collection, The Tall Owl: And Other Stories, was published. The Fly Guy is a twisted thriller which explores the creative process and questions how much control artists have over their creations, while The Tall Owl is a selection of 10 stories, spanning different times and places, examining the bonds which build, influence and sometimes constrain our lives.
