Tom Flynn

Vocal, Guitar, Harp

Counties cork & Kildare

 

As a performer of primarily acoustic music since the seventies, his immersion in traditional and contemporary Celtic music was launched through a regular solo gig at the legendary Eamonn’s Irish Pub.  As the band’s lead vocalist, his songbook ranges from the lyrical charm of the Clancy Brothers to the whiskey-soaked blues of Howlin’ Wolf.  Tom’s own compositions conjure up encounters with gypsies, voodoo queens, mermaids, and street hustlers. He clearly has issues.

"...I ain't plannin' ahead, I'm just gettin' there..."

Bill Flynn

Vocal, Percussion

Counties Cork & Kildare

Don’t be fooled by his care-free choirboy exterior.  He has a “history”.  Bill’s signature tenor harmonies and percussion are key ingredients of the band’s sound. His uncanny ability to identify new, hook-laden material for the band is a welcome asset.  Unlike his brother Tom, he claims not to have issues.

Or was it the Jameson factory?
