Johnny Flynn Chats To I Like Music

Johnny Flynn has just released his debut album A Larum. A collection of beautifully crafted folk songs which pay a clear homage to the roots of traditional folk, with a barrage of instruments, harmonies and story-telling lyrics. Expertly, this album still has modern rubbings across its shoulders, which allows it to stand out from the crowd.

Already receiving rave reviews across the musical spectrum, Johnny Flynn is proving quite a success. He has put his Shakespearian acting career on hold (having performed in Twelfth Night at the Old Vic) and is currently concentrating on his music. We caught up with him to chat about his summer festival plans, getting in uncharacteristic fights and picking up the mandolin in the recording studio…

"I Like Music because…when you are listening to music you can forget about the past or the future. JOHNNY FLYNN

ILM: Your brand new single, Tickle Me Pink, is out now along with your debut album A Larum. Can you describe the vibe of the single?

Johnny: Well, it's a song that has had quite a few different lives. We first released it as a double A-side with another song, over a year ago. It was a really different version. The song has meant quite a lot to us as a band. It probably happens with a lot of bands, you all fall behind a song that you feel is your most important song. I certainly feel like it is an important song for me. Especially in terms of its attitude and what it is about. It kind of defines things for me.
