Scottish trio Talisk plays with so much power and presence, that it’s sometimes hard to believe there are only three of them.
Their tight, propulsive, and often downright raucous instrumental sets have their basis in but are by no means confined to, the traditional music framework – such as when they get hold of a riff or a phrase and fold it back unto itself, turning it into a rhythmic device that grows in intensity, setting the stage for improvisation or to launch into a whole other tune. Their honors include Folk Band of the Year (BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards), BBC Radio 2 Folk Award, and a number one placement for their 2018 album “Beyond” on the iTunes world music charts.
