One of the most high energy folk acts out there are Talisk.
I do miss the sound of the original violinist Hayley Keenan, although she joined the band again recently for a special gig at Barrowlands.
On their recent X tour they celebrated their 10th anniversary, and took in some places including Norwich, where I was able to go and see them again.
There's an excellent, and rather specific geography connection here.
One of the musicians, who plays the concertina is Mohsen Amini. He also plays with the band Ímar, who have some excellent tracks.
He was taught geography by the legend that is Kenny O' Donnell.
Here are a few of their tracks...
A recent single, available in three different versions:
And a live track from the Cambridge Corn Exchange.
They also have new music for 2026 called New Quay.
