Inheritance Tracks - Johnny Flynn

Download Johnny Flynn

Johnny Flynn - actor, poet, musician - he can do pretty much anything.

On stage and screen, he’s played Albert Einstein, Richard Burton and David Bowie - and in the studio he’s recorded albums of classic folk as well as the title track for The Detectorists.

Johnny took a break from playing a political broadcaster in his new show The Lovers to tell us about the musicians who have inspired him throughout his life.

Inherited: Joe Hill by Paul Robeson
Passing on: Close My Eyes by Arthur Russell

Producer: Ben Mitchell
