Faran Flad is a band that likes to play traditional music and compostitions made by band members.
The first recordings were made during our second rehearsal sitting around the kitchen table, so they're nowhere near to what the album should/will sound like.

What you said about our music:
Beste rasartiesten, We hebben enorm genoten van jullie optreden op het folkfestival (Dranouter). Het was een verademing om nog eens echte folk te horen. Moest jullie cd uitkomen in de maand september wil je mij dan op de hoogte houden waar die te verkrijgen is. Samen met the Chieftains waren jullie het hoogtepunt van het festival voor mij. Nog veel muziekgenot en tot hoors, Ivan Poelaert
