The County Affair

The County Affair is a story of friendship, music and adventure. With the impending realisation that life is short, the country-Americana duo have decided to take the plunge, each leaving their respective careers in pursuit of the music that has solidified their friendship for the past 40 years.

The County Affair’s story is that of music, friendship and adventure. Childhood best friends Kevin Brennan and Tony Regan met in Nottingham in the 70s. Travelling together on the same school bus each day, they talked endlessly about music and the ‘country rock’ and ‘outlaw country’ sounds that were emerging from the US at the time. As teenagers they joined The Moonshiners, an Irish country band led by Kevin’s father, and were playing up to three gigs each weekend whilst their schoolmates worked in shops and on paper rounds.
