After 30 years Flook show no sign of letting-up in their brilliance\, their dynamism\, or their inventive flair. \nThe band early on evolved an inimitable trademark sound and hold fast to their rightful reputation as exceptional musical innovators; the whistles and flutes of Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen\, the guitar of Ed Boyd and the bodhran of John Joe Kelly weaving and spinning tunes rooted in tradition over precise acoustic grooves\, with a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance\, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold\, adventurous musical imagination. \n \nThere is an ever present abundance of individual virtuosity amongst Flook’s four members\, but there is also something wholly unique when this iconic Anglo-Irish band step on stage together\, their playing always an intuitive\, almost symbiotic\, exchange between the various flutes\, whistles\, frets and skins. An evening and a celebration you don’t want to miss out on. \n‘An absolute powerhouse\, a flute and whistle-led\, eight-legged jig machine. Jigs\, reels and waltzes whirl by.
