“Ainsley Hamill’s stirring voice could compete with anyone at Celtic Connections” - Pat Byrne *The Voice of Ireland*

Ainsley is a Scottish songwriter and singer and is quickly becoming one of the UK’s leading and most diverse folk singers, after various nominations at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards.

Winners of the 2017 MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards’ Folk Band Of The Year, 2015 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards’ Young Folk Award and nominees of the 2017 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards’ Horizon Award, Talisk are one of the fastest rising bands on the UK folk scene in recent years.

Mohsen Amini (concertina), Hayley Keenan (fiddle) and Graeme Armstrong (guitar) create a captivating, energetic and dynamic sound that, in just a couple of years, has earned them multiple award wins, unwavering nationwide media praise, and standing ovations far and wide. Atop their collective titles, Amini was the 2016 BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year and is currently the BBC Radio 2 Musician Of The Year adding to a trophy cabinet that far belies their years.

So too does their touring history, though – with appearances at world-leading festivals including the Cambridge Folk Festival, Denmark’s Tønder, Celtic Colours in Cape Breton, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention and Celtic Connections, as well as countiess others alongside live sessions on both BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland’s flagship folk programmes. With further tours and showcases throughout Europe and the US on the horizon, theirs is a star firmly, and rapidly, on the ascent.

Ben Miller & Anita MacDonald have become renowned across Atlantic Canada and further afield for their synergistic, pipe and fiddle driven style of Gaelic dance-music. Joining together the musical traditions of Cape Breton and the Scottish Highlands, while incorporating influences from Ireland, Shetland and beyond, Ben and Anita have created a signature sound, described as "Fiery... Fresh, yet totally traditional." - Piping Today Magazine (Glasgow, UK) 

As well as performing as a duo, Ben and Anita tour as a trio with Acadian multi-instrumentalist, Zakk Cormier. Zakk is a dynamic musician with deep roots in the musical community of Prince Edward Island. He brings his talents as a sympathetic guitar accompanist, as well as the driving rhythm of Acadian foot-percussion.  As Miller | MacDonald | Cormier, these three young artists create a powerful sound, which transcends the boundaries between Cape Breton, Scottish, and Acadian traditions.

​Fourth Moon unites four nationalities and four musical backgrounds into one creative force to be reckoned with:

"The result feels fresh and often exhilarating. With a nod towards the pioneering spirit of Lau in showing how traditional musicianship and instruments can be used to produce a truly original sound, Fourth Moon take a mixture of tunes, many of them self penned, and put together sets that play around with styles and tempos and deliver the unexpected."  - Edinburgh TradFest

​"Whilst there are some beautiful slower passages, it's the fast stuff that bring both band and audience fully to life and gets the pulse racing. These are seriously talented musicians who have found in each other a chance to experiment and extend their own musical experiences. Definitely a band I want to see again."
​"Tone and tempo that can call to mind a chamber music group in terms of sound quality and tonal range." - Herald of Scotland

​Fourth Moon were born in 2014 from the meeting between two French musicians (Jean-Christophe Morel on violin and Jean Damei on guitar) an Austrian (Geza Frank - bagpipes and flutes) and a Scotsman (Mohsen Amini - concertina) on the occasion of the Willie Clancy Festival in Miltown Malbay, Ireland.
In 2016 the line up changes introducing David Lombardi from Italy on violin and more recently Andrew Waite from Scotland on accordion. The quartet performed as headliner in numerous international folk festivals such as the Celtic Connections Festival, Edinburgh Trad Fest, Le Son Continu Festival, Kilkenny Trad Fest, Celti'Cimes, the Vienna International Accordion Festival, Shepley Spring Festival and has toured in France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and the UK.
In 2018, the group released their first album, "Ellipsis", which received enthusiastic international reviews.
Their music is almost exclusively original, and is described as imaginative, innovative and virtuosic, spanning the bridge between a traditional Folk group and a chamber music quartet.
