Mick can best be described (if you have to go there) as a folk rock singer/songwriter. He’s an experienced performer, having toured extensively in Ireland (his homeland), parts of the U.S., Israel and assorted other places of interest. Currently, he continues to perform in and about Ireland before sold-out crowds.
Mick writes all of his own music and lyrics. His original concept album, “Evening Train”, boasts eleven tracks telling the story of a week in the lives of two brothers, and it has been reviewed as containing “astute and sophisticated lyrics” and “strong, imaginative melodies”.
Mick is the first Irish musician to win awards in the prestigious U.S. International Songwriting Competition – “The Tender” won First Prize in the “Lyrics Only” category; “In the Gutter” took First Place in the “Folk/Singer-Songwriter” category (Judges included Tom Waits, Loretta Lynn, Sonny Rollins, John Scofield, Macy Gray and others).
Okay, so that’s a little history on Mick Flannery. As to the future, Mick has just completed his first CD for EMI Ireland, "White Lies", wihch is now available for sale throughout Ireland. As to the personal side of Mick, well, we’re still not gonna’ tell you what he likes to eat and drink, his favorite color, or things like that. We’ll keep it all a secret (just for now). But we will say this – he’s very talented, very nice and very cute. :o
“Astute and sophisticated lyrics, strong imaginative melodies, consummate musicianship on both piano and guitar, and a voice that somehow manages to sound long experienced in the ways of the world.”

‘WHITE LIES’ DELUXE LIMITED 2CD EDITION
Released November 20TH, 2009
What a year it’s been for Mick Flannery…
In September 2008, when White Lies was first released, Mick was all but unknown outside his native Cork, and 12 months later, he has a Platinum Album under his belt, and is selling out venues all over the country on a weekly basis.
He’s notched up numerous awards, including a Meteor Award and Hot Press Award, and was even nominated for the prestigious Choice Music Prize.
Still humble, Mick still can’t see what all the fuss is about, and is continually baffled by the slew of interview requests that continue to flow in, but there’s no getting away from the fact that the man has a unique and remarkable talent.
Xmas 2009 brings a Special Deluxe Edition of ‘White Lies’, which has been expanded to include a bonus disc which features a stunning performance from Mick and his band from December last year in the Cork Opera House. The package also includes Mick’s duet ‘Christmas Past’ with English singer Kate Walsh, which will be released as a single next month.
As we said at the outset, what a year it’s been for Mick Flannery… Who knows what 2010 has in store for him?
