Scotland’s Talisk are one of the best live acts in the UK and on the festival circuit right now, producing raucous crowd energy and stadium-sized sound with a mere concertina, fiddle and guitar.

It’s just Mohsen Amini, Benedict Morris and Charlie Galloway on stage with three acoustic instruments — and yet it’s their indescribable ability to concoct the most addictive, trance-like explosion of folk that has propelled them to cult status.

Whether traditional music gets your blood flowing or you’re a headbanger at heart, this gig is for you.
