MICK FLANNERY
New album 'GOODTIME CHARLIE' - Out Now
Released on September 15th 2023 on John Prine’s Oh Boy Records for North America
Award-winning, double-platinum selling artist Mick Flannery has officially announced his eighth studio album ‘Goodnight Charlie’, released on September 15th . Flannery announced his signing for North America with Oh Boy Records, the legendary label started by multiple Grammy winning songwriter John Prine, in 1981, making him the label’s first international signing.
“Mick Flannery has a voice for the ages, a complete Master of his craft” cited by Clash Magazine, whilst The Sunday Times said he “conjures up exquisite story-telling.” His last album in 2021 consisted of a collection of duets with up and coming Irish artist Susan O’Neill. American Songwriter called ‘In The Game’ a “Sorrowful Masterpiece.” The record was nominated for the Choice Music Prize, and won the RTE Radio 1 song of the year two years in a row for tracks ‘Baby Talk’ and ‘Chain Reaction.’ The album was the biggest selling independent record in Ireland in 2021. Mick’s debut album ‘Evening Train’ is currently in development as a stage musical, due to be back on the stage later in 2024.
Mick Flannery’s songs are fluent in expressing layered aspects of the human condition, its flaws, triumphs, and general uncertainty. Mick has built up a reputation over the past decade as one of Ireland hardest working musicians, touring extensively at home and in more recent years abroad as his songs have been reaching folks farther afield. Ireland's best kept secret appears to be no more.
