FLOOK NEWS

Welcome to Flook News. We are heading out tomorrow for a few UK gigs, in

Bury (Greater Manchester), Lichfield and Southampton.

We are also back in Ireland in a couple of weeks, in Brian's home town of Armagh, and look out for us in

Portugal, Italy, Estonia and Belgium over the coming months.

We have uploaded a couple of videos onto our MySpace site (http://www.myspace.com/2flutes) - you can see us performing an old favourite, Pressed for Time, on BBC television, and also performing a song at Gosport Festival - for the very first time - with Damien O Kane.

That's it for now - see you along the way,

Sarah, Brian, Ed and John Joe x
