John Francis Flynn
John Francis Flynn is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who creates contemporary music using traditional and folk material.
He masterfully unpicks traditional songs and rearranges them with an emotional force. They float in a surreal space between the past and the present, the analog and the digital, between love and tragedy..The unconventional use of instruments and jagged arrangements gives the work a magnetism by drawing you into its curious orbit of experimental folk.
His latest album, Look Over The Wall, See The Sky, was released on Rough Trade imprint, River Lea, and is a powerful re-imagining of traditional Irish music: immersive, hopeful and free.
