“Extraordinary” /Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio2“Doubling the power of three” /The Scotsman“the technical ability of each member is clear in theirenergetic, dynamic sound”/ Songlines“an exciting sound that, in this case literally,drags an audience out of its seats.” /The Herald“incredible!” /Rolling Stone (Australia)One of the most talked-about folk bands of the 21st century, Talisk have been tearing apart stereotypes and redefiningthe genre for almost a decade. With over 15 million streams, 10,000 albums sold worldwide, and sold out shows acrossfive continents - from Paris to New York, London to Tokyo, Glasgow to Vancouver - alongside headline appearances atfestivals the world over, the Scottish trio have amassed a global, die-hard following.Wielding instruments that have rarely seen the likes of their music,Mohsen Amini(concertina),Benedict Morris(violin) andCharlie Galloway(guitar) have stacked up major awards for their explosively energetic sound - includingfive between BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland, and two highly coveted BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards.At New Year 2022 they played BBC One’s Hogmanay show to a television audience in excess of one million, and - asthe only folk act alongside pop headliners - quickly amassed a vast, mainstream audience that continues to propel thegroup to some of their largest live shows to date. Headlining Glasgow’s iconic Barrowland Ballroom in 2024 - duringEurope’s largest winter festival, the legendary Celtic Connections - Talisk’s star remainsfirmly on a rapid ascent.Never afraid to push musical boundaries, or test the live production capabilities of just three people (yes, it’s all live),there’s captivating a crowd, and then there’s Talisk
