John Francis Flynn is an Irish singer and multi-instrumentalist whose work traverses the worlds of traditional and contemporary folk music. He is a founder member of the traditional Irish folk band Skippers’ Alley and half of the new duo Paahto and the Bull. His solo work combines traditional material with influences from the worlds of post-punk, electronica, improvisation and contemporary music.
In amongst his run of shows for Paahto and the Bull’s new release, John Francis Flynn is coming to perform a full set of his solo work at Aiteall singer-songwriter weekend. He will be joined by Brendan Jenkinson.
The concert will be opened by fiddle player, Tadhg Breathnach-Peelo.
“The opening track, ‘The Zoological Gardens’, takes a familiar bawdy tune and adds to it alien, electronic harmonies more extreme than anything he has done before. (Producer Brendan Jenkinson, who also plays several instruments on the album, is co-credited for every arrangement.) Flynn’s vocal delivery is consummate, with a lovely sense of cadence and pace – but it’s the accompaniment, in equal parts bewitching and bewildering, that compels the attention here.” – James Camien McGuiggan, Journal of Music
