About us

Taking inspiration from their roots in the Irish and English traditions, Flook have an enviable trademark sound, weaving and spinning traditionally rooted tunes over precise acoustic grooves, with a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination. There is certainly no shortage of virtuosity amongst the members of Flook, but the unique impact of this band stems from the wholly intuitive, almost symbiotic, exchange between the various flutes, frets and skins.

Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2025, Flook continue to inspire and enchant. Their new recording, Sanju, released in March, makes it clear that while Flook’s roots remain firmly anchored in tradition, they continue to uphold their reputation as major musical innovators.
