FLAVIN MICK

AS GOOD AS I ONCE WAS
THE ESSENTIAL
MICKFLAVIN
COLLECTION
2CD
In 1987, when I started performing as a professional singer,
little did I realise that 23 years down the road,
I would still be recording new albums and DVDs.
Twenty three years is a long time in any business,
especially showbusiness.
During these years I have had some great times
and I’ve been lucky enough to meet some
wonderful people along the way.
For the past nine years I have been recording albums and DVDs
on my own label, however I am delighted that Dolphin Records are releasing
As Good As I Once Was - The Essential Mick Flavin Collection,
chronicling my many happy years of recordings,
hopefully with many more to come!
I would like to thank everybody who has helped,
encouraged and supported me during my “Travellin” years!
I hope you enjoy this collection.
