Mick Flannery & Susan O'Neill
In late February 2020, Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill appeared live on The Late Late Show in Ireland to perform their stand-out song Baby Talk, which was released the following week. The performance sparked a creative connection between the two artists that would soon grow into something much bigger.
Soon after, Mick and Susan began writing and recording together, ultimately creating a full album of original songs. The result, In the Game, was released in September 2021 to widespread acclaim. It debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Independent Albums Chart, remained in or near the Top 20 for several weeks, and went on to become the biggest-selling record in Ireland by a non-major label in 2021.
Mick and Susan took In the Game on the road throughout 2022, touring extensively across Europe and North America. Their performances captivated audiences, with the album’s songs forming the backbone of a moving, timeless narrative about the life of musicians—on stage and off, in love and in struggle. In the Game has since become a cherished record both in Ireland and abroad, where it continues to find new listeners.
Now, five years after that first performance, Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill return to the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.
