After more than 30 years, Flook show no sign of letting up in their brilliance, dynamism or inventive flair. What began in 1995 as a ground-breaking union of musicians and instruments has continued as a unique musical offering through one live album, five studio albums and countless outstanding performances.

The 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 bodhrán 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.

There 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 steps on stage together, their playing always an intuitive, almost symbiotic exchange between the various flutes, whistles, frets and skins.

*This event will last approximately 2 hours, including the interval.*
