FLOOK NEWS

Welcome to Flook News. We've had a great summer of festivals, and should be posting some more pictures soon on the Road page at: www.flook.co.uk/road.html

Here are our tour dates for September and into the Autumn. You will find all our tour dates are regularly updated at: www.flook.co.uk/tourdates.html

Brian has raised over £1000 already for Macmillan cancer support through his fund-raising marathon, Folkies on the Run. He has just one more week of training left, and just one more week to raise some more money. If you feel you're in a position to donate a little money, you can do that easily online by visiting: www.justgiving.com/brianflook
Don't forget to look out for us on MySpace at:

See you along the way,
Sarah, Brian, Ed and John Joe
