About this event
At The Vanguard in Newtown on Saturday, 9 January 2027: Flook Australian Tour.
- 18+ only
Flook Australian Tour
Iconic Anglo-Irish band Flook weave and spin traditionally rooted tunes into their own inimitable and thrillingly original trademark sound. Returning to Australia for the first time in over 20 years, kicking off their tour at the Woodford Folk Festival, audiences will love Flook’s rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination. There is 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.

‘An absolute powerhouse, a flute and whistle-led, eight-legged jig machine. Jigs, reels and waltzes whirl by. Each as glorious as the last, the musicianship as extraordinary, the mood never any less than euphoric’ FATEA Live Review
