"In the pantheon of Irish/English folk groups they don’t come much more revered than Flook" Irish Post
"In the US, their reputation borders on the Messianic ..." Irish Music Magazine
Flook are 12 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. Back in 2008 with new tunes and a daring new addition to their line-up, 2006's BBC Folk Band of the Year will continue to blaze a trail with their cool and funky take on traditional music.
