Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit
Johnny Flynn is a South African-born English musician and actor. He is the singer and songwriter for the band Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit and you may also recognise him from Netflix series Lovesick. His folk epiphany happened at the age of 11, when he bought The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan at a school jumble sale. “I went home and played it and was completely captivated by the voice,” he says. “I remember listening to that record and crying on my own in my bedroom.”
