The Gulley Flats Boys

The Gulley Flats Boys is an album from British musician Francis Dunnery, first released in 2005 as a double CD, and later reissued as a download.

The title of the album is a reference to the council estate in Cumbria, North-west England where Francis grew up alongside the friends pictured on the original CD cover.

Sonically it is very stripped down, revolving almost entirely around Dunnery's vocals and acoustic guitar playing and piano courtesy of David Sancious.

The album features two re-recordings of older songs (Good Life and Heartache Reborn).

There are many moments Dunnery looks back to his younger days - old friends and places from his youth are mentioned (the title Gulley Flats Boys refers to the social circle of his youth on the Gulley Flats estate in hometown Egremont, Cumbria).
