Hey Guys!! I’m looking for the album Flook Live! , with Michael McGoldrick in the band, anyway I don’t want to buy the album, but I want to find some sound samples from that album, I heard this album is awesome so I want to hear some of the talent. Thanks a million!!

I think yer out of luck on this one. The album’s long sold out, and I don’t see any MP3s online.

I’ve got a tape of it (at least I think it’s the same live album, subtitled “The Four of Us”), and there are some awesome musical moments.

I have the album on CD. It does have some very nice moments but the downside is that it was recorded straight to DAT off the gig sound desk.

Has some amazing flutter tonguing/articulation played with three flutes! However, on balance though I feel that there is almost too much going on at times with Mike McGoldrick’s more refined and relaxed playing being slightly overwhelmed by an excited Brian F! This is of course partially due to the ‘live’ mixing of the recording.

While out-of-print, there do seem to be some still out there. I’ve seen it offered for $18.70 . Afraid I won’t post any samples from mine, nor am I aware of any on the web. Here’s the track list though.

1 - Branohm/Trip to Herve’s
2 - Knocknamoe jig/Custy’s/Trip to Brittany
3 - Jizique
4 - Brian’s reel/Peter’s epic journey
5 - In another life
6 - Blackberry blossom/The independence
7 - History man
8 - Dub reel

I’m sure you can find some official samples of Mike McGoldrick’s playing from his CDs, and of the other Flook albums.

Hm, that’s a different album from the live one I have. Tracks on mine are:

  1. Happy Jigs (A short Journey I&II)
  2. Sligo Reel/American Polka
  3. Kishor’s Tune
  4. Calico Set
  5. Gentle Giant
  6. Flutopia
  7. Waltzes
  8. Dub Reel

So there must have been two live albums?

They have made another live CD - “The Four of Us”, I believe it’s called, which was only made in quite a few copies. Except for Flutopia, I can’t remember which tracks are on it, though…

Yeah, that’s the one I have; the tracks are listed above. It is indeed called “The Four of Us.”

Mini Whistler,

Maybe you should ask one of the band. There is a guestbook or a contact email on their site www.flook.co.uk. I have found in the past that Sarah Allen is very helpful.

Yes, the ‘Flook Live’ track listing is as Kevin lists it above
