• Flamborough Head gigged at pROCKfest, a two day festival in Bunde, Germany on Saturday November 11. Line up: The Flower  Kings, Riverside, The Watch, FH, Abarax & Pendragon. A big thanks to Udo Grasekamp of Abarax for organising this excellent festival!  For photo's and reviews please visit the pROCKfest Website, for some reviews in the local newspapers click here. Here some Dutch quotes from Chris Bekhuis' review on pROCKfest: "De tweede dag van pRockfest werd geopend door onze landgenoten Flamborough Head. En ik heb het al vaker geroepen: wat blijft deze band toch groeien! De band heeft een uitstraling op het podium die past bij een geroutineerd gezelschap dat niet anders doet dan alleen maar optreden. En dan te bedenken dat deze formatie volgens mij zo langzamerhand veel meer in het buitenland heeft opgetreden dan op vaderlandse bodem. […] De band liet op het Duitse publiek een meer dan goede indruk achter wat ook kwam door het grote spelplezier dat de band uitstraalde. Ik blijf het een raadsel vinden waarom deze band niet veel meer in de gelegenheid is om in Nederland op te kunnen treden, want hun toegankelijke vorm van symfo steekt die van muzikale buren Mostly Autumn met gemak naar de kroon."

Brian Schenkenberger made some excellent pictures of our show:

• Flamborough Head finished their new album which is called Tales Of Imperfection. Here are some of the first quotes: "All in all a very good album! There is happening a lot in a musical way, you never get bored.(...)The music of Flamborough Head has [..] an undeniable echo from Renaissance[..]. But overall: highly recommended to all the fans of real symphonic prog with a taste of folk (and even some neo-prog)". "The whole feeling of the CD reminds me of the 70s, sometimes a lot like RENAISSANCE and MOSTLY AUTUMN, yet rockier than the first band and more melodic rock based than MOSTLY AUTUMN, so somewhere in between these bands. The vocals of lead singer MARGRIET BOOMSMA are truly wonderful (...) Sounds cliché, but I really think FLAMBOROUGH HEAD has now released their strongest record, because each song has got all the elements a classic progressive rocksong needs to contain, which are rich keys, beautiful melodic guitarsolos, clean melodic vocalwork and even some flutes played by the female singer. Definitely a CD worth checking out for any fan of high class music."
