Flynn was educated at The Pilgrims' School, a preparatory independent school for boys, in the cathedral city of Winchester in Hampshire in Southern England, which was a 'feeder school' for Winchester College, a senior boarding independent school for boys, in the same city. He later attended Bedales School, a boarding independent school in Petersfield, also in Hampshire. The group's second album Been Listening was released through Transgressive Records on 7 June 2010, and was accompanied with worldwide touring. The record followed the debut album, A Larum released in the summer of 2008, and the Sweet William EP, which was released in the winter of 2009.
