I was just searching the web and I was listening to some of my videos I got off of kerrywhistles.com and I must say I love their sound, wonderful melodies and harmonies. You can check them out here:

Everything they do is just excellent, in my opinion. My wife and I were lucky enough to catch their show in Hartford last week. Great Stuff. My wife even won a beer from them- how can you beat that?
All the Best, Tom
I saw Flook in concert last Friday, and it was great. I also met TomB and his lovely wife (but she didn’t share the beer 
), which was a treat. I got to chat a bit with Sarah, Ed, John Joe, and Brian and they are wonderful people. It’s just so much fun to ask what key that big flute is in or to talk about Colin’s Overtons with Brian, how great they are how you play them… 
The concert was fantastic. The music is such a delight, alive intricate and gorgeous. They are all great virtuosos on their instruments (hearing John Joe play bodhran almost made me vow never to tell another bodhran joke). It is amazing to see them play together, the subtle interaction between the musicians on stage. You can tell that they have been playing together for a while and you see them playing off each other, lifting the music more and more as the concert progresses.
As for the music, it’s not Irish Trad, although that is where many of the tunes come from and the Irish (or Celtic flinch) stuff informs their original material. You can expect some of their tunes to crop up in the hipper sessions around the globe, I am sure. But there are definite departures, and I don’t even mean the fact that they play Greek or Bulgarian tunes, too. Their approach to the tunes is non-traditional in that they’ve expanded their focus to the harmonic structure and progression of the music. With Ed on guitar and Sarah playing a counterpoint or harmony line to Brian you have a harmonic layer there that makes their music jazzy. By that I don’t mean that you will hear a lot of II-V-I progressions (there are some, though), but rather that the role of the melody changes. Just listen closely to the degree of variation or improvisation in Brian’s or Sarah’s playing. That goes far beyond the minute and subtle shifts you’d expect from a traditional player. The beautiful energy and lift of Flook’s playing, and the wonderful way in which the instruments blend gives their music a real kick. There is a thrill because you can hear what they are doing against the backdrop of more traditional music. One reason why it works so well is the remarkable original material that Sarah and Brian write. It’s great, zesty stuff, played by wonderful people. You gotta love it.
And thanks, Ed!
