Oh ya, Flook of Seagulls. I used to listen to them in the 80's!

Amar me boy this is a great link. I've been listening to great sounds all day and I really needed a lift today.
Flook are awesome and do all my favourite things with whistles. Play them high, fast and furious with plenty of choppy variations in the rhythm.
The CD collection expanded a bit today I can tell ye.
Many thanks,
Slan,
D.

I wasn't going to comment on this site cause I hate JAZZ and thats all this stuff is....BUT, when it left all sorts of pop-ups on my screen that I
couldn't get rid of without shutting everything off (and I have a pop-up-stopper too), well I thought I should warn people what they were getting into:(

Strange affair Lolly,
I had no problems at all with this site and found it a wonderful place with a tremendous variety of great music.

Slan,
D.

that really is strange, i had no pop-ups whatsoever...
And sure, Flook doesn't play pure-drop irtrad...but jazz? no way.
Amar.

Big fan of Flook myself, keenly anticipating delivery of the re-released Live album from 96 (I think).

Anyway, I'm not sure if it's been posted on this site, but there's a new band from the states, very flook-like, called Millish.

http://www.millish.com

They've got tracks to download on their site - unfortunately they're uncompressed .WAV files - about 50mb per file

- but if you've got a good connection or the patience to download 'em, I tell you it's totally worth it. The dude's whistle-playing is AMAZING. And the guitar's really good as well. They use a full drumkit, not a bodhran, but the drummer is fantastic too.

Someone else to check out for interesting take on trad is the Canadian fluter Nicholas Williams

Flute's my main instrument, and this dude's ma main man

Here's a link to a much smaller .wma file of Millish that Paul posted at TheSession:

Q thank you very much! Millish is fantastic! Does anyone know of anyone else similar to Flook?

Hey, Did you guys notice that the first downloadable track from Millish is a song called Asanul. Lunasa backwards!!!

A Squillion thanks for the link to Millish Q.
One of the best bands I have ever heard.I'm having a ball here just spotting the influences /references in these tracks.Every one of my favourite genres is in the mix.Fantastic.These guys are bound for glory.The most creative and imaginative outfit out there today.If this band dont rock your soul get someone to check your pulse.
And to think that I heard them first here,on the Chiffboard....!
Q, if you ever get anywhere near the misty swamplands of the Humber Delta then the Guinness is on me - all night long.
Slan,
