The release of his second album Look Over the Wall, See the Sky last The November kicked off a huge start to the year for Dubliner John Francis Flynn.

John 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.

Look Over The Wall, See The Sky is a re-imagining of traditional Irish music: powerful, hopeful and free. John Francis Flynn is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who creates contemporary music using traditional and folk material. His debut album “I Would Not Live Always” was released on Rough Trade imprint River Lea Records in 2020, earning rave reviews and winning 2 awards at the RTE Folk Awards.

Kevin Fowley

Growing up, Kevin Fowley split his time between living in France and Ireland. He listened to French lullabies sung by his mother in one room, while his father would be playing Donegal tunes on the fiddle in another. His upbringing is apparent in his upcoming record À Feu Doux. Seamlessly gliding across folk, jazz, and a rich yet shimmering in between sound.

Real night time music.

‘Four simple songs have rarely generated such a transformative collection the way À Feu Doux does. Rather than a series of children’s lullabies, Kevin Fowley has developed a set of sounds for a much more adult audience. Understanding the power of music, these sounds are perhaps the most evocative and revolutionary music you will hear all year. These are lullabies for the child residing inside each adult.’
