Flook

Flook is an Anglo-Irish band that stands out in the contemporary folk music scene with their distinctive blend of traditional melodies and modern rhythmic drive. Formed in the mid-1990s, the band consists of the flautists Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen, guitarist Ed Boyd, and bodhrán player John Joe Kelly. The ensemble has a unique configuration that centers around the ethereal and powerful combination of flutes, complemented by the dynamic guitar and the percussive wizardry of the bodhrán.

Flook's music is deeply rooted in the Irish and Celtic music traditions, yet they infuse their compositions with a refreshing modernity that transcends geographical and genre boundaries. They achieved wide acclaim with albums like "Flatfish" (1999) and "Rubai" (2002), both of which showcase their skillful interplay and innovative arrangements. After an extended hiatus, they returned in force with "Ancora" in 2019, their first studio album in 14 years, reaffirming their place at the forefront of contemporary folk music. Most recently, they have delighted their fans with releases such as "Sligo Reel (Zazim Remix)," which captures their willingness to experiment with new sounds and production techniques, and "Flook! Live!", a testament to the vibrant and captivating energy of their live performances. Flook's music continues to inspire and invigorate the world of folk music with its spirited, boundary-crossing tunes.
