Time: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Tune in to Sunset Road this Friday as Pete interviews Ed Boyd, guitarist in Anglo-Irish band, Flook. They’ll go track-by-track through Flook’s brand new album Sanju. Ed Boyd also doubles as the guitarist in Lúnasa. Find it on 91.1 FM or streaming at wtju.net.
Flook features Brian Finnegan on whistle and wooden flute, Sarah Allen on alto flute, John Joe Kelly on bodhrán, and Ed Boyd on guitar. Taking inspiration from their roots in the Irish and English traditions, Flook have an enviable trademark sound, weaving and spinning traditionally rooted tunes over precise acoustic grooves, with a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination. There is certainly 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.

Sanju, released on March 21st, features all-original compositions by Finnegan and Allen, touching on themes with reflections on love and loss, friendship, persecution, family, and the cruelty and beauty of humanity alive now in the world.
