Chris Flynn’s songwriting takes inspiration from kitchen sink playwrights and German auteur Bertolt Brecht as well as musicians such as Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and The Smiths. His reputation as one of Manchester’s most talented musicians was cemented by the critical success of his last single ‘Pandora’, released earlier this year. Recorded in several studios in Salford, including Blueprint Studios, the single was accompanied by a stunning music video featuring Maxine Peake in the role of ‘Pandora’.

As well as writing new solo material, Chris is involved in a number of collaborations with a variety of artists, including Julianne Regan.

Chris has recently performed a number of sell out gigs, as well as making guest appearances for various acclaimed artists including Grammy nominee John Fullbright.

Chris Flynn’s forthcoming album, produced by Paul Mortlock who also produced Jesca Hoop’s new album, features a number of guest musicians including drummer Pete Marshall from Paul Heaton's band and hammond organist Christian Madden, who has played with a diverse list of artists including Plan B, Paul Heaton, the Animals and Steve Cropper. Chris’ band includes established musicians including Dickon Kyme-Wright and Norman Cook.
