From humble beginnings, The Tumbling Paddies have steadily grown to become one of Ireland's most sought after entertainers.

On Friday, December 13, Irish folk singer and songwriter Mick Flannery is set to perform as part of the Winterval Big Top Live event at 8pm.

The artist, who hails from Blarney in Co Cork, writes songs with fluency, expressing layered aspects of the human condition, including its flaws, triumphs, and uncertainty. 

The last few years saw the release of an album inspired by the world’s most famous chess matches, and a duet album with Susan O’Neill that blossomed into 'In The Game'- the biggest selling Irish independent album of 2021. 

Now, a new collection of songs that summon up characters, scenes and give voice to emotions, have transformed into his eighth studio album 'Goodtime Charlie'.
