The Flow is an album by
Chris Leslie released in 1997.
This album is mostly instrumental. Although Chris Leslie is best known for his
fiddle playing in
Fairport Convention, these cuts sound nothing like Fairport or any of his other prior musical projects. The album demonstrates Leslie's breadth of
musicality, influence and inspiration from across the globe.
Tracks 2 and 6 produced by Simon Mayor. Other tracks produced by Tim Healey.
Recorded by Mark Tucker.
