The Historic Market Hall
Ah, Talisk, the folk band that’s been redefining the genre and tearing apart stereotypes for nearly a decade now. With over 15 million streams, 10,000 albums sold worldwide, and sold-out shows across five continents—from Paris to New York, London to Tokyo, Glasgow to Vancouver—this Scottish trio has amassed a die-hard global following. Clearly, the world can’t get enough of their explosively energetic sound.
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—five between BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland, and two highly coveted BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards.
At New Year 2022, they graced BBC One’s Hogmanay show, reaching an audience of over a million. As the sole folk act amidst pop headliners, they quickly garnered a vast, mainstream audience, catapulting them to some of their largest live shows to date. Headlining Glasgow’s iconic Barrowland Ballroom in 2024 during Europe’s largest winter festival, Celtic Connections, Talisk’s star remains 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), Talisk doesn’t just captivate a crowd—they practically hold it hostage with their infectious energy.
