'Four-part harmonies and Flynn's Dylan-esque vocals set hearts a-flutter'

Sunday morning of the Bestival with no bog roll, booze or Berocca left but in serious
need of a pep-up? If the idea of Mr Motivator on main stage doesn’t float your boat, ye olde folk singer Johnny Flynn is gracing the Big Top for his last tour date of the
year. Droves of doe-eyed girls have already flocked to the front to catch a glimpse.
A bashful Flynn addresses
an ever-growing crowd with a simple, “Hey.” The screams that follow can probably be heard from the very depths
of the Ambient Forest as the band dig up a few ditties from their debut album including ‘The Box’, ‘Eyeless
in Holloway’ and ‘Cold Bread’.
Eerie four-part harmonies and Flynn’s Dylan-esque vocals
set feet stomping and hearts a-flutter. With a rousing rendition of ‘Tickle Me Pink’ to tie up the set, Flynn
ends this tour with a throng of new fans... and marriage proposals.
