Showing no trace of creative fatigue, O'Rourke is joined in Kan by Brian Finnegan, a founding member of one of Britain's most important ever traditional band's Flook. Finnegan and O'Rourke's Irish and Scottish musical roots are deeply woven into the new music which makes "Sleeper" such a potent debut, but their artistry and skilled writing are only half of a homogenous quartet which is made up of lead instruments and also features the incredible musicality and compelling talents of Ian Stephenson and Jim Goodwin.
Kan is a union of four of the finest, most influential, award-winning, in demand artists of the 21st century traditional music world.
Kan is one member of Lau, one member of Flook and two members of more bands than even they can remember.
Kan is a unique melding of the bold and beautiful flute virtuosity of Brian Finnegan, from Armagh in the North of Ireland, with the expressive and daring fiddle deftness of Aidan O’Rourke, from Scotland’s Isle of Seil, cemented by the organic and intuitive drumming of Harrogate’s James Goodwin and the unfettered, playful guitar reinventions of Ian Stephenson, out of Selby in Yorkshire.
Sleeper is the debut album from Kan, and the first fruits of the band’s intention to create what they call “a homogenous quartet of lead instruments”, which emerged from the musicians’ frequent past collaborations – both in their compositional and recorded work and in less formal and more lubricated sessions.
The tunes on Sleeper have, as their backbone, Brian and Aidan’s Irish and Scottish traditions – focused on intricate, groove-entwined melodies whilst embracing Breton dance, Asturian jigs and the influence of avant garde jazz pianist Nik Bartsch, and Israeli bassist Avishai Cohen.
On stage, Kan perform in an arc with no lead musician – “The drums are as important to the melodic content as the fiddle”.
There’s a mutual admiration bordering on fandom between the individual members of Kan which makes them compelling and joyous to watch. When asked why he joined Kan, Ian replied: “There are probably dozens upon dozens of grown men who grew up listening to Flook and Lau, harboring dreams of being in a band with Brian or Aidan one day. Well that’s me now. I’m chuffed to bits.”
See what we mean? The level of experience and weight of achievement in this one group becomes almost daunting when you try and list it.
Between them they’ve recorded and performed with the likes of Kate Rusby, Cara Dillon, BBC Philharmonic, Blazin’ Fiddles, Liverpool Philharmonic, Kathryn Tickell, Northern Sinfonia, Wayne Shorter, Eddi Reader, Justin Currie, Roddy Woomble, Baltic Crossing, Adem, Sting (yes, really), OMD (yes, really), Jack Bruce (and again), Bella Hardy, Nitin Sawhney, Katherine Jenkins, Jan Garbareck, Karine Polwart, Trilok Gurtu… and we could go on.
But the most exciting thing about Kan is there’s never been a band like Kan before.
