With Sarah Allen (flute, accordeon), Brian Finnegan (flute, low whistle), Ed Boyd (guitar), John Joe Kelly (bodhrán)
The flutes of Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen, the guitar of Ed Boyd and the bodhrán of John Joe Kelly weave and spin traditionally rooted tunes into the breathtaking sound of Flook. This group possesses a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination. Rubai, released in 2002 and nominated for BBC Folk Album of the Year, was universally applauded by both journalists and fellow musicians and cemented Flook's reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands to emerge from the English/Irish folk scene. They went on to win the coveted award for Best Group at BBC Folk Awards 2006. Following a pause in live performance, they are back by popular demand to play selected gigs together. A concert not to be missed!
