  • PRESS RELEASE 4th July 2009:
    FLOOK announce one-off gig in BELFAST

    As you’re undoubtedly aware, the musical phenomenon that was FLOOK officially decided to call it a day in late 2008. After much arm twisting however, they’ve agreed to play a one off concert, as part of the biggest event ever to hit the island of Ireland – the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge (13-16 August 2009).

    As the Gateway to the Tall Ships, Custom House Square in Belfast will play host to a veritable feast of fantastic folk, trad, roots and world music over the four day period, culminating in what is turning out to be possibly the most exciting evening of traditional music this year.

    The ‘Titanic World Ceilidh’ runs from 8pm-12midnight on Sunday 16th August and features Brian Finnegan, Sarah Allen, Ed Boyd and John Joe Kelly (aka FLOOK!) PLUS very special guests.

    Eager not to miss the chance to film this unique event, BBC Blas Ceoil will be hosting the evening and also presenting a variety of ‘special guests’. Contractually we can’t give you the details of who all those people are just yet – but if folk, roots and traditional music are your cup of tea, we guarantee you won’t find a more exciting line up this year!

    Tickets are priced at a recession busting £12 each and are available from http://www.gotobelfast.com/tall_ships_belfast_2009/entertainment.aspx

    Four Men and a Dog, Lau, The Battlefield Band, Orchesta Cache     – and many, many more!
  • December 17th 2008

    After 13 plus years, hundreds of gigs, millions of miles travelled together and countless brilliant times, we've decided to call it a day.

    It might be forever or a prolonged pause, who knows, but we're all still great friends and will always remain so. This might sound like a cliché but it is deeply truthful.

    Huge thanks to every single one of you for your support and love, we'll certainly miss making music as Flook, but the light, notes and memories shine on in our hearts.

    We'll keep you informed of any important info in the future, for now our love and best wishes for 2009 and beyond.

    Sarah, Brian, Ed & John Joe
