Between the 2000 release of Flatfish, Flook’s first studio recording, and their World Village debut, Rubai, the band enjoyed some great adventures all over the world. Rubai (a four-line poem in perfect rhyme, full of music, rhythm and breath) kind of tells the story of that journeying and growing up, through their tune writing and the music collected along the way. The virtuosity of the band is remarkable, here backed up by guest performers on bass, fiddle, trombone and percussion. After listening to the disc, you’ll be surprised to discover that most of the (all instrumental) tracks are not traditional tunes - a remarkable tribute to Flook’s songwriting skills. Rubai is a beautifully packaged and excellently produced CD which will appeal to any lover of Celtic music.
