Mick Flavin grew up in a thatched farmhouse in Ballinamuck, Co. Longford. Working on a farm and running wild through the fields was a favourite part of this country boy's young life. His early home life was centred around an old record player and this influenced his interest in music and in people like Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Hank Williams and Tex Ritter. On his way to the well for water he always held the bucket over his head so he could hear the reverberation of the sound when he sang. His first guitar cost the princely sum of £4 and he learned to play it from a Guitar Tutor he bought in Denniston's Music Shop in Longford.
