Johnny Flynn - The Wrote & The Writ
Union Transfer, Philadelphia, 08/01/2015
Elizabeth Mazenko wrote a nicely detailed review in The Key of the opening sets by Marika Hackman and Johnny Flynn. Flynn was second on the bill after Hackman.
" 'I've known Johnny since I was 16,' Laura Marling laughed as her tourmate Johnny Flynn picked up the violin to join her onstage. “And we both look exactly the same.” '
"Next on the bill was Johnny Flynn. With no hesitation, he immediately swung into favorites like “The Wrote and the Writ,” “Mumeration,” and “Brown Trout Blues.” The crowd sang along as Flynn’s guitar-plucked folk tunes swelled the hall. After finishing “A Lady Is Risen,” Flynn introduced a new song he hasn’t quite finished, but wanted to test out on the stage. Not long after, Laura Marling joined Flynn on the stage for a sensational performance of the duet, “The Water.”
I saw Flynn play “The Water” last time he was in town, and the song itself is a beautiful tune to witness live. But his sold out North Star Bar show was solo, and despite the crowd helping out Flynn with the harmonies, it simply lacked the luster that only Marling’s voice could bring. Saturday evening though, Marling at her mic and Flynn at his, it was simply brilliant to see.
Before Marling took over the stage, Flynn had Marika Hackman come back out and all three finished out Flynn’s set with the bouncy crowd favorite, 'Tickle Me Pink.' "
The lighting and the sound were excellent, as was the camera work by Bev Kates, and video production assistance by Lindsey Mitchell.
