FLYNN 529? You might wonder who the hell they are and where they came from.  Lets start with the name: FLYNN 529. That could be an AOL screen name (NOT); it could be our own private college savings plan (NOT); or it just might be the name and batch number of the 'frothy' that lead singer Tom Flynn helped the Guinness Brewery start up on his last trip to Ireland (it's a great story that we won't bore ya with here!)...

Formed in February 2006, FLYNN 529 evolved from some of the musicians at the legendary Eamonn’s Irish Pub and Restaurant in Loudonville, NY. Gaining new fans each time  they crank it up,  FLYNN 529 has performed in a variety of venues around the "Great Northeast" from small intimate pub settings to festival stages with the likes of Enter The Haggis, Greenwhich Meantime, Rathkeltair, BarleyJuice, Black 47 and Hair-Of-The-Dog (how's THAT for some shameless name-dropping?!).

Their music is a stew--- with healthy proportions of Celtic and American folk tradition, a teaspoon of the blues, and a few dashes of those 60s and 70s AM/FM radio chestnuts you find yourself humming on the way to work.  Expect to hear original compositions and covers of anything from the Clancy Brothers to Johnny Cash to John Hiatt. These guys love to play any song they get their hands on and wouldn’t mind you hooligans coming out to party, drink, sing, and laugh all night with them.

 

Sláinte!

       All the best,
                Digger “Craic-head" McGuirk

 

 

Craic (krak) n. (Irish/Gaelic)
Enjoyable time spent with other people, especially when the conversation is entertaining and amusing!  I.e. - The boys went to their favorite pub just for the craic.
