Mick Flannery is a singer and songwriter who was brought up on a farm outside Barney, Co. Cork, Ireland. If asked, Mick adamantly refuses to talk about himself. So, if you’re determined to get up close and personal with him, you’re gonna’ have to kick back and listen to his music because that’s where he actually talks about himself. Mick has realised that songwriting is the best part of this strange job of being a jobbing gigging talking singing musician.

It’s never a chore, Flannery says about the craft. The creating is the nicest part, it’s something you always have and you can use it to work through stuff that’s in your head. You have to take it seriously if it’s going to be any good.

By The Blue, Flannery’s fourth and most recent album, is the work of a confident, assured songwriter, someone who knows how to turn a list of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs into graceful, minor key pen pictures which will resonate with the listener. The songs usher us into a world which is by times emotional, romantic, dark, insightful and hopeful. ‘By The Rule’ is the sound of a man at ease with his work, the sound of a master songwriter creating his best work to date.
