The duo will play a show at Whelans on October 28 as part of their Irish and UK tour. John Francis Flynn and Paahto Cummins have announced their debut album, The 123, scheduled for release August 21. The Irish folk duo, Paahto & The Bull, met in 2011 and helped form the Irish traditional group Skipper’s Alley in 2013. Paahto & The Bull gradually worked towards recording a full studio album with help from Brendan Jenkinson and Ben Rawlins. Paahto & The Bull played Beyond the Pale Festival last month and have upcoming sets at All Together Now and Electric Picnic.
