In 1967, Brian Thompson and Bob Balabuck formed a four piece folk group that became known as Flipper Flanagan’s Flat Footed Four. After seeing a string of guitar and bass players come and go, Jamie Gerow and Jack Wall joined the band in the early 70s . They became known for their use of varied genre: bluegrass, Celtic, rock, folk and their irreverent sense of humour. In the last two decades they have recorded original material that reflects their love of Northern Ontario. They have just finished a sold out Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration at Magnus Theatre.
