Mick Flannery is a busy boy at the moment - he's releasing his self-titled sixth studio album on July 5 and has collaborated to turn his 2007 album Evening Train into a musical of the same name for Cork Midsummer. It runs at the Everyman June 14-23.
Synopsis: West Cork: Grace dreams of a new life far away from here as she waits for Luther; he's late. Again. Elsewhere in town, bartender Frank surrenders yet another paycheck to cover his reckless brother's gambling debts, while Luther promises Grace that by Christmas, he'll have made enough money to get them out of here. Before long, a high stakes game is underway in which everyone is a player, whether they like it or not.
He talks to Zara Hedderman about how Evening Train (the musical) came about, making music with other songwriters, his journey in music, keeping things challenging and more.
