John Francis Flynn

We’re overjoyed to be welcoming the masterful contemporary Irish folk artist John Francis Flynn to our stage, in association with Now Wave. The singer and multi-instrumentalist masterfully unpicks traditional folk 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.

Tickets on sale Friday 31st May at 10am.

John’s debut album I Would Not Live Always was released on Rough Trade imprint River Lea Records in 2020, earning rave reviews and winning two awards at the RTE Folk Awards.

His new album, Look Over the Wall, See The Sky is a reimagining of traditional Irish music: powerful, hopeful and free. Picking up where his critically acclaimed debut left off, the forthcoming LP is a sprawling soundscape of unconventional instruments and jagged arrangements, granting the songs a certain sense of magnetism that draws listeners into its curious orbit of experimental folk.
