For over 20 years, Mark Flanagan has been the guitarist with Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra. During that time he has made TV, Radio and recording appearances with many well known artists, from George Harrison to Dr. John, from Eric Clapton to Chaka Khan. For the past decade, Mark has been working on a solo set, mainly of songs he has written on Dobro and acoustic guitar. His first album, "The Chosen Few" was well received in the Folk/Roots community and featured guest appearances from Jools, Sam Brown and Rico Rodriguez.The second album, "Down The Wire" was co-written and performed with old freind Jimmy Bergin. This record is more Alt. Country and romantically inclined and features a stunning guest vocal apperance by Ruby Turner. For most of his 'solo' apperances, Mark has been accompanied by long-time friend and collaborator Kevin Willoughby on bass and vocals. Kevin brings with him a classical music education and a heavily-stamped passport! During the 1990's he plunged into the Daker music scene and appeared with such luminaries as Baba Maal, Cheikh Lo, Seckou Keita and Ismael Lo.
