Mick Flannery's Evening Train gets a new platform

The stage adaptation of Mick Flannery’s concept album gets its premiere in Cork next week, writes Marjorie Brennan.

Musicals aren’t exactly Mick Flannery’s cup of tea, he says, as he sits in a hotel lobby on a Sunday morning the night after the musician’s sold-out gig at Live at St Lukes in Cork.

Minutes later, he’s singing ‘My Favourite Things’ from The Sound of Music, albeit getting the words wrong.
