B'e measgachadh gu tur r-ghnthach a bh' ann nuair a thinig an luchd-ciil agus an cuid innealan bhon chmhlan Flook cmhla airson a' chiad triop ann an 1995. Tha iad air sia clran de dh'amhrain fhoillseachadh bhon uair sin- aonan a chaidh a chlradh be agus cig anns an stiidio- agus air an uiread de chuirmean-ciil iongantach a chluich is nach gabh an tomhas. Ged a tha 30 bliadhna air dol seachad, tha an cuid dhnachd, thlant agus innleachdais gun abhsadh.

Bha an cmhlan aithnichte bhon toiseach airson an cuid chiil a bha gun choimeas agus tha iad fhathast a' leantainn gu dlth ris a' cli sin; eadar na feadagan is duisealan aig Brian Finnegan agus Sarah Allen, an giotr aig Ed Boyd agus am bodhran aig John Joe Kelly, thid fuinn bhon dualchas agus ruitheam mionaideach a' ghiotr fhighe a-measg a chile ann an cl iomadh-fhillte, le cothromachadh eadar tlant sr bhuadhach, celmhorachd thrail agus tionnsgalachd mheanmnach.

Chan eil cil nas cinntiche gu bheil tlant air leth aig gach duine anns a' chmhlan-chiil, Flook, ach 's e rud snraichte a th' ann a bhith gan isteachd le chile agus cho ndarrach ndarrach 's a tha co-sheinn nan inneal-ciil, eadar duisealan, feadagan, teudan agus drumaichean.

'S i bana-sheinneadair Ghidhlig le a th' ann am Miri Nic Gille Bhrith. Tha Miri a' cur feum air a cuid dthchais, a bharrachd air a bhith a' tarraing bho mheasgachadh de thobraichean ciil, agus anns an digh seo thid aice air dreach r a chur air amhrain bhon dualchas, a' seinn an d chuid ann an Gidhlig agus stoidhlichean traidiseanta eile.

Bidh dithis neach-ciil air leth na cuideachd. Is iad sin Sean Gray (giotr) agus Isla Callister (fidheall), agus le chile n iad girdeachas air bidhchead is cumhachd amhran Gidhlig.

What began in 1995 as a ground-breaking union of musicians and instruments, has continued as a unique musical offering through one live album, five studio albums and countless outstanding performances. After 30 years Flook show no sign of letting-up in their brilliance, their dynamism, or their inventive flair.

The band early on evolved an inimitable trademark sound and hold fast to their rightful reputation as exceptional musical innovators; the whistles and flutes of Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen, the guitar of Ed Boyd and the bodhran of John Joe Kelly weaving and spinning tunes rooted in tradition over precise acoustic grooves, with a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination.

Mairi McGillivray is a Gaelic singer from the island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. Mairi comes from a strong Gaelic background and uses her heritage along with her dynamic range of musical influences to put her own style on songs from her tradition, performing in Gaelic and other traditional styles.

Mairi is joined on stage by two top class Traditional musicians, Sean Gray (guitar) and Isla Callister (fiddle). Together they celebrate the beauty and strength of Gaelic song.

There is an ever present abundance of individual virtuosity amongst Flooks four members, but there is also something wholly unique when this iconic Anglo-Irish band step on stage together, their playing always an intuitive, almost symbiotic, exchange between the various flutes, whistles, frets and skins.
