It’s busy times indeed for that talented quartet Flook featuring the flutes of Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen, the guitar of Ed Boyd and the bodhran of John Joe Kelly. They head off to Italy tomorrow, then France and Ireland (Belfast) next week. But there is also some great news for Flook fans in England! They’re playing Sidmouth Folk Festival on Monday August 5th. Not only will this be their second only Flook gig in England for over 4 years, but also it is WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. They recorded “Flook! Live!” at Sidmouth in 1996, and that’s where, they tell us, the momentum really started for them to become a “proper band”.
