Their only Danish festival in 2025
“They looked for all the world like four people - until they started playing when they became as tight as one while producing a sound as rich as ten.” That was how The Shetland Times described the Anglo-Irish band Flook.
Originally a scratch band of four musicians working together for a short concert tour, they found the reactions to their music so positive that they decided to carry on. This year, Flook are marking their 30th anniversary with a world tour.
Since 1995, Flook has proved one of the most influential groups in modern folk music. Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen's flutes and whistles, Ed Boyd's guitar and John Joe Kelly's virtuoso bodhrán combine to provide a unique soundscape that spans from explosive energy to melodic beauty, creating an almost electric charge on stage.
Since their debut, Flook have refined and developed their characteristic style, releasing groundbreaking albums which blend original compositions and traditional songs.
After 11 years off, they returned with the album Ancora (2019) - a reunion that garnered high praise from both critics and audiences.
As a 'flute and whistle led, eight-legged jig machine', Flook continue to inspire with new material - including here on their jubilee tour, which celebrates the past and promises great things in the future.
