Ancora

Due to overwhelming popular demand, the legendary folk band are finally to release a new album. Coming after a gap of fourteen years, Ancora will be released on the bands own label Flatfish Records. With the flutes and whistles of Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen, the guitar of Ed Boyd and the bodhran of John Joe Kelly, the iconic band Flook weaves and spins traditionally rooted tunes into an enthralling sound with agile but tight rhythms and virtuoso improvisation. Having won Best Band at BBC Folk Awards 2006, there is no shortage of virtuosity amongst the members of Flook, but the unique impact of this sensational Anglo-Irish group stems from the wholly intuitive, almost symbiotic, exchange between the various flutes, frets and skins. Ancora marks a return after too long away, but also a continuation.
