David Flynn is a native of Athlone, Co. Westmeath.  He has researched both the stories of the farming protests of the 1960s, and Ireland’s Showband era for a number of years.  The song, ‘The Broken Hearted Farmer’ sung by David’s uncle, Joe Flynn fifty years ago, joins those two periods together. ‘The Broken Hearted Farmer’ is his first documentary for the Documentary on One.
