First, a short background about the evolution of modern Irish traditional music in order to put the award winning group, Flook, into some sort of context…as well as spotlight, multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, Sarah Allen. So, there had never been a twin flute tradition in Ireland beyond a couple of flutes and/or whistles sometimes playing in unison. Flook came along in 1985 and took the UK/European folk scene by storm, first with a three-flute front line and then with two.
Brought up on The Beatles, they’ve always been my ground zero for music, the gold standard in songwriting, innovation and beautifully crafted guitar parts. Still inspired by them, I decided to release an EP of their songs called, Calvin Travers Plays The Beatles.
