Kan play St Pancras Old Church

Kan is a union of four of the finest, most influential, award-winning, in demand artists of the 21st century traditional music world, combining one member of Lau, one member of Flook and two members of more bands than even they can remember.

It is a unique melding of the bold and beautiful flute virtuosity of Brian Finnegan, from Armagh in Ireland, with the expressive and daring fiddle deftness of Aidan O’Rourke, from Scotland’s Isle of Seil, cemented by the organic, intuitive drumming of Jim Goodwin and the unfettered, playful guitar reinventions of Ian Stephenson.
