Their only Danish festival and concert in 2025
When the young Scottish band Talisk guested Tønder Festival in 2016, they aroused great enthusiasm in the audience.
The previous year, winning the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award launched their career. Now they have been breaking stereotypes for almost a decade, and playing to full houses on five continents.
Talisk, who are Mohsen Amini (concertina), Benedict Morris (violin) and Charlie Galloway (guitar), are known for their dynamic and innovative approach to Scottish music. They add to traditional Scots folk music a modern interpretation inspired by their unique instrumentation and rhythms. Technically, their musicianship is jaw-dropping, and their energy level and enthusiasm can get any audience going. In 2022, Talisk played BBC One's Hogmanay (New Year) TV show for over a million viewers, the only folk band amidst pop headliners. That earned them a massive mainstream audience who faithfully turn up for Talisk's growing live concerts.
Talisk topped the bill at the Barrowland Ballroom festival in Glasgow i 2024 and at the legendary Celtic Connections. Their succes has not hindered their inventiveness, pushing the boundaries for how much three musicians can create on stage. Their only Danish festival and concert in 2025.
