John Francis Flynn is an Irish singer and multi-instrumentalist whose acclaimed work centres around traditional and folk music, creating sonic landscapes through the unconventional use of instruments jagged arrangements often teeters on the edge of disharmony, but it gives the work a magnetism by drawing you into its curious orbit of experimental folk. John masterfully unpicks traditional songs and rearranges them with an emotional force that sometimes leaves them unanchored.They float in a surreal space between the past and the present, the analog and the digital, between love and tragedy. Look Over The Wall, See The Sky is an album concerned with imagination, but not only with what John calls, “an imagined Ireland,” but also the re-imagining of traditional Irish music and the hopeful fantasy of an Ireland that could exist ‘over the wall’: powerful, hopeful and free.
His latest album Look Over the Wall, See the Sky received nominations for the RTÉ Folk Award and Choice Music Prize Album of the Year. His debut, I Would Not Live Always also won great critical acclaim, including accolades as The Guardian and MOJO magazine's Folk Album of the Year. He won Best Singer and Best Emerging Artist at the 2021 RTÉ Folk Awards.
