John Francis Flynn’s debut album, I Would Not Live Always, is a striking entry into the contemporary folk landscape, released on River Lea in 2021. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Ewan MacColl and Shirley Collins, Flynn delivers a set of traditional and newly arranged songs brimming with authenticity and emotional depth.
This album stands out for its innovative arrangements, featuring the haunting fiddle work of Ultan O’Brien and spellbinding contributions from fellow musicians including sean nós singer Saileog Ní Cheannabháin and keyboardist Phil Christie. Flynn’s commanding voice and thoughtful curation create a soundscape that is both timeless and refreshingly modern, making I Would Not Live Always a compelling addition for folk and world music enthusiasts alike.
