About Me


ABOUT Ciaran Flynn [pron: Kier-Awn]
...simple, beautiful and declarative songs, stripped of pretense...
HotPress, Ireland.

2008
Another new song!
Made In Love - Dublin, 2007.
Another Sleepless Night...- Dublin, 2007.
Ciarán Flynn [pron: Kier-Awn Flin]
Independent Irish songwriter, travel a lot, sometimes without a guitar, love the differences found in places, love similarities found in people.
Play acoustic instruments, listen to all instruments.
Wanted to play guitar forever. Want to play guitar for as long.
Saw Andy Irvine (Planxty) perform in a local folk club years ago, loved it. Knew then it was a good idea.
Grew up listening to Planxty, Neil Young, Nick Drake
Still listen to Guthrie, Dylan, Springsteen, Andy Irvine, Tom Waits, Frames, Cash
Sometimes listen to Tracy Chapman, Radiohead, Prayerboat
Always listen to Glen Hansard, Sigur Ros, Ryan Adams, Jaymay and Sage Francis.
Now back in Dublins' inner city; performing, writing and dreaming up another journey.
This story will be continued on the stages of live venues around Ireland, Europe, Scandinavia, North America and beyond.
