Yes Valmai, after I'd posted (and with a D'oh! slap-of-forehead) I remembered Flook.

I've not seen Lau so didn't realise they were so instrumental-heavy, I think I'd assumed that with Kris Drever on board they'd make use of his singing.

The other all-instrumental act I would cite is the wonderful Michael McGoldrick Big Band, which has been my live highlight of the year.

It would be really good to see Spiro getting more gigs next year, best of luck to them.
