Flook are 13 years old…
Award winning instrumental tune-smiths, playing music brave in exploration and classy in execution.
Flook has always been celebrated for their organic, fluid and brilliantly innovative all-acoustic fusion of Irish folklore with modern and trans-national rhythms. What really makes them extraordinary, however, is the way their sound emerges from a sixth sense, allowing band members to communicate on a subliminal level. There is an uncanny interplay between the players; each seems to respond not only to what is presently being heard but also to as-yet-unvoiced impulses. Even when performing sets they have interpreted many times before, inspiration leaps between them like multi-hued tongues of flame and long-familiar tunes become utterly transformed, fresh and new.

Thanks for the lush tunes...and for the add. Saw you at St Chartier a few years ago, just missed the Warsaw Village band but was fortunate enough to catch your set afterwards; a real treat. All the best
