Flook won BEST GROUP in the BBC Folk Awards 2006

"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

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.
