Talisk

One of the most talked-about folk bands of the 21st century, Talisk have been tearing apartstereotypes and redefining the genre for almost a decade. With over 15 million streams, 10,000albums sold worldwide, and sold-out shows acrossfive continents – from Paris to New York,London to Tokyo, Glasgow to Vancouver – alongside headline appearances at festivals the worldover, 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), and Charlie Galloway (guitar) have stacked up major awards for theirexplosively energetic sound – includingfive between BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland, andtwo 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 ofone million, and – as the only folk act alongside pop headliners – quickly amassed a vast,mainstream audience that continues to propel the group to some of their largest live shows to date.Headlining Glasgow’s iconic Barrowland Ballroom at the start of 2024 – during Europe’s largestwinter festival, the legendary Celtic Connections – playing the OVO HYDRO at end of the year,Talisk’s star remainsfirmly on a rapid ascent.

In 2025, that journey reaches another milestone as they take to the stage at Glastonbury, bringingtheir electrifying sound to one of the world’s most iconic festivals.

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.
