Séamus Egan: Information from Answers.com
In the early 1990s, he formed a New York-based band, the Chanting House, with Ivers, Doyle and
Susan McKeown. Egan continued to focus on his solo career as well, releasing his second solo
album, A Week in January, in 1990.
Although the Chanting House disbanded before recording an album, Egan joined with Ivers and
Doyle and Kimati Dinizulu to record a track, "Ships Are Sailing," on Ivers' solo album Wild Blue.

Stephen D. Winick - Egan
"But then," Egan continued, "a couple of weeks later I got a call." Andy Yarme, their
benefactors' son, had taken Egan's CD A Week in January back to New York with him,
where he was a technician working on The Brothers McMullen, then a totally obscure
project with a shoestring budget and no big names. The phone call, Egan remembered, was not
exactly inspiring. "It's a low budget, no money film," they told him, but still asked if it
would be all right to use some of his music. His response was nonchalant: "Yeah, sure, no
bother."
