Talisk

One of the most talked-about bands in contemporary folk, Talisk have spent the last ten years ripping up the rulebook — and audiences across the world have come along for the ride. With over 15 million streams, 10,000 albums sold, and sold-out shows on five continents — from Glasgow to Tokyo, Paris to New York — alongside headline festival appearances the world over, the trio have built a devoted global following.

Armed with concertina, fiddle and guitar — and a sound far bigger than the sum of its parts — Mohsen Amini, Benedict Morris and Charlie Galloway have picked up a string of major awards, including from BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland and the BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards.

Celebrating a decade on the road in 2025, Talisk continue to push boundaries — musically, technically, and in how three people can completely command any stage. Their BBC One Hogmanay Show performances reached over a million viewers, whilst they’ve captivated tens of thousands live - from Glasgow’s OVO Hydro arena, to the vastest of festival sites across Europe, North America, and Australasia, and including Glastonbury in 2025.

Expect big energy, heavy tunes, and an all out celebration of an almighty 10 years - from one of contemporary Scottish folk’s most celebrated live acts.
