Talisk

Talisk are a Scottish folk band composed of Mohsen Amini, Benedict Morris, and Charlie Galloway.

[8] Neil McFadyen of Folk Radio UK described their music in a review as having a "driving, fiery" sound.

"It's hard to think of [another] band that has achieved so much and made such an impact on the trad music scene in their first three years," he wrote.

"[2] A 2015 article on the same site by Johnny Whalley noted that "their music draws on the Irish as well as the Scottish tradition and generally cracks along at a lively pace with concertina and fiddle vying for the lead, driven by Craig's guitar.

Rob Adams of the Herald Scotland noted in a review that "in the absence of songs to vary the mood and tempo, they employ passages of reflection and trance-like motifs or offer a quiet melodic introduction.
