Flook

Whilst some band change their personel, some bands change the spelling. Flook, formerly Fluke orininally started off about eight years back as Three Nation Flutes.

The band, John Joe Kelly, Brian Finnegan, Ed Boyd and Sarah Allen have become one of the country's most entertaining instrumental bands. More than capable of throwing a few surprises from within an excellent show.

Their most recent album, "Rubai" was voted into the top 15 of the Froots or is that Fruits, critics poll in 2002 and is well worth checking out.

The Barely Works, Bigjig, Upstairs In A Tent, Red Ciel, and Altan are just some of the bands that have benefited from the diverse talents of members of Flook over the years.

I'm sure Sarah won't thank me for this photo from seven years back, but it does hint at the staying power of the band. It also reminds me that it's been way too long since I managed to catch up with tis combo
