Culture That Made Me: Folk-punk star Jinx Lennon on Dylan, Lou Reed and Tarry Flynn 

In advance of his Cork gig, the quirky Dundalk singer reveals some of his touchstones 

Jinx Lennon is at Cyprus Avenue in Cork on April 4. 

David 'Jinx' Lennon, 60, grew up in Dundalk, Co Louth. In 2000, he released Live at the Spirit Store, the first of over a dozen folk-punk albums, acclaimed for their wit and gritty realism. 

To mark the release of his latest album, The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope, he will perform – along with Cork punk folk outfit Wasps Vs Humans – at Cork’s Winthrop Avenue,  Friday, April 4. See www.jinxlennon.com
