Flook: Wrong Foot Forward

Music is from the cd "Haven." The video is a performance of it on their last American tour in 2006-This is Flook in Alexandria, VA. We may ne'er hear a band the likes of them again! Flook broke up in '08.

[@PedroLunan]

I am addicted to Flook... I've been listening them for 2 months, every day; every time I go to work, early in the morning in a crowded bus...

[@cleverclogs70]

Brilliant. I'd love to see this band live.

[@kaelig13]

My favourite folk band of all times and one of my favourite songs.

[@zuuchii]

the start with the flute part totally kicks ass! nothing more to say!

[@karatekidMrMiyagi]

THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!!!! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!

[@Classe84]

Im sick of people talking shit about Flook. They´re a bad-ass group of musicians. Period!

[@jozafax]

I've favorited this a while ago but it pulls my socks right off every time i watch it!! One of the greatest for me.

[@MrFair]

I can't understand how the people in the audience can sit so still while listening to this amazing music. Damn, I can barely keep sitting on my computer chair!

[@syllogism314]

I saw them this past fall when Mike McGoldrick was subbing for Sarah, and they played some new material, which Brian did say was for the next album, though he didn't say when it was coming.

[@MrRochsnake]

Just amazing ! What a band !

[@pedrosaavedra2191]

Maravilloso, simplemente bello!!!!! Saludos y felicitaciones desde Ecuador.

[@syllogism314]

It was announced on their web page and myspace page. They basically said after 13 years it was time to do other things. Remember Sarah recently had a baby, and many of the players (John Joe and Ed) play with a lot of other ensembles, especially with Mike McGoldrick. They did say that all remained friends, and held out the possibility for getting together in the future.

[@Slaktaren1991]

And now it's been 13 years since your comment, time flies! 🙂

[@rhykko77]

Happened upon this by accident........to quote Paris Hilton "Lovesit" .....really awesome

[@BehorWindpipe]

i would have loved to see them!!...

[@erikberton]

Impresionante, maravilloso, precioso. Esto si que es musica irlandesa de la mejor calidad.

[@WavaUna]

I'm dancing in my heart

[@kevinmeehan71]

what a fantasic tune at the beginning so great

[@joeletait]

excellent band and piece.

[@bluesoulady]

omg i love this band, they are so amazing, why did they split up! the music is just from heaven

[@dreamopeth]

awesome musicians, awesome song. Please get back together and do some gigs!

[@weezzle]

These guys are amazing!!! Haha, at 4:35 looks like the girl is dying, trying to keep up with the male flute player

[@syllogism314]

Unfortunately Flook has announced they are breaking up. But at least we have their music and videos.

[@FrancescoChiariniFiddler]

I love you Flook!!

[@scarlethardy]

Fabulous Flook forever

[@idimitrov7]

Прекрасна музика! Браво!:)

[@emncaity]

Since the post is so old I won't bother the original poster (above) with a response, but IMHO, as somebody who's played Irish music for quite awhile (various sessions, two different bands, etc.), Flook and Lunasa really aren't much like each other at all. Flook, to my ear, does stuff that is much more intricate and has Balkan and other influences. That's just one of the differences. They're "alike" mostly in that they're both Irish-based but not strictly trad.

[@Pgitlitz]

Holy crap these guys are great Too bad they're breaking up just as I discover them. Not surprising if folks can't find the beat when it's 7/8 I couldn't dance to it. They sure are tight.

[@AkhiilhaDariio0]

Fantastique!!!

[@arturamorim]

Bravo!

[@celticsalmon]

Good eye! one camera with different shutter settings

[@azaxy]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[@superstar85ca]

It's not a song, it's a set of tunes

[@tyronegaa]

@celticsalmon any more flook videos m8? cant get enough lol

[@AlecBrady]

Flook are together again (don't know how long for) and are appearing at Shepley Spring Festival, 18 May 2013.

[@dreamopeth]

They are playing Wales in a few months, check their facebook. Also, this song is amazing...

[@Pipixcan69]

Always loved this group....must be my Irish Tipperary family farm calling me !!

[@saikyou33]

2:35 cool !!

[@schorschchrist]

Does he change the whistle in the middle of the song (when the Song goes faster)? I know the faster second part is with a d-high whistle, but the first part I want to no... can anybody help? thanks

[@BlackFolkAndPiano]

Looks like they are playing together again, coz I'm gonna see them live next week ;)

[@TallesDiCunto]

@celticsalmon great great suggestion! thank you very much!

[@rwoz]

Thanks, good stuff :D

[@bdmac100]

Wow. This band is so tight......I can't spell it but I sure can yell it, onyawallya!

[@spout37]

Flook is a portal to ireland

[@Sufizmoe]

I'd be so appreciative to have the guitar tabs from this song. .

[@MegaKing10000]

GJ nice man good luck ;)

[@Warchild281]

Flook broke up!?!?! nooooo!!!!! i didnt know

[@SeanRosenberry]

@erichmao Altan is a good group as well.

[@LukeLetellier]

@erichmao The 'Luna Park' album by Kila.

[@azulyrojo89]

its a A Whistle , i am sure of that because i up 1/2 tone and i can play with a Bb whistle so that its the reason see my cover :D:D

[@d157]

worst audience in the world. Not one head nodding to the beat. How people can see these guys and not go nuts for it weird. Seen them a few times on the right side of the pond. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@colmtrim]

what would you know about Irish music, acording to your youtube page you're american,,that is Irish music

[@DATIT13]

brian finnegan is amazing!!!!

[@pablocoruja]

simplesmente alucinante a música!!! tesão demais

[@rwoz]

Can someone PLEASE tips me if you know a song with this kind of feeling?

[@BarnabyWalters]

Hmmm… Is that an alto flute?

[@emncaity]

@emncaity That's not a slam on either, by the way, but I tend to like Flook better because I don't think they lean as heavily on electricity and heavy bass lines.

[@lds006]

@erichmao Naragonia!

[@ossiethegreat]

Check out Kan.... Brian's new group

[@Lochbesda16]

HOLD ON. FLOOK IS BREAKING UP?? why?

[@rhykko77]

I suspect that they broke up because they found out that Paris Hilton liked them.

[@3nriks]

try nightride from Brian Finnegan ;)

[@celticsalmon]

Lunasa

[@gabblegawker]

As a young musician....um..eh...well...i like Flook but not as much as ice cream!

[@ARIDFooL]

Magik

[@henharro]

Of course Brian is out at about 1.42 - the music is not live - and the bass is out of sight...

son boníssims (they are great , in catalan) I am not agree with you karbby: they are not aout of rhythm at all; they are playing in odd meter or with displaced accents.It seems like being out of pulse, but the´re not! They are great because of that!

[@krystooonia]

Who the heck disliked this??

[@Jacobson47]
