Brian Finnegan’s Hunger of the Skin | Heidi Talbot – 15 Mar

Brian Finnegan’s Hunger of the Skin is an expansive and emotionally charged project from one of Irish traditional music’s most celebrated composers, collaborators and producers. Best known as the founding flute player and frontman of Flook, Brian Finnegan has spent almost three decades at the forefront of contemporary traditional music, building a global reputation for innovation, depth and musical fearlessness.

Alongside his work with Flook — who returned in 2019 with the acclaimed album Ancora after a four-year hiatus — Finnegan has toured and recorded with an extraordinarily diverse range of artists, including KAN, Cara Dillon, Boris Grebenshikov, Anoushka Shankar, Bebel Gilberto, Ed Sheeran and El Búho. His work consistently presents traditional music as a living, evolving artform shaped by collaboration and curiosity.
