Our recent recommendations
The hottest thing in folk since folk records began (sometime in 1066 I think); Flook combine energetic virtuosity with a studied knowledge of the Anglo-Irish instrumentalist tradition.
More than twenty five years after their first gig together, Flook continue to inspire and enchant audiences of all ages.
Real deal Irish folk exactly as you’d want it - full of charm, honesty, intricate trad. musicianship and tales of the Emerald Isles.
