about

The three girls in this band are all prize winning musicians and listeners to this CD will very soon know why that's the case from the very fine Shetland style fiddle playing apparent even from track 1. Along with the bands' guitarist Andrew Tulloch, all these musicians can also turn out extremely good self-penned tunes. I particularly liked Jenna Reid's "Gordon the Golfer" and Gemma Wilson's "Beth's Tune" while Andrew wrote the album's title track "A Thousand Miles Away". Filska are another excellent example of the high standard of musicianship apparent in Scotland's young musicians at this time. A band who can proudly and ably represent our musical culture on the world stage.
Filska are:
Jenna Reid: fiddle, accordion & vocals
Gemma Wilson: fiddle & vocals
Bethany Reid: piano fiddle & vocals
Andrew Tulloch: guitar & vocals
Guest musicians:
Mark Hodgson: double bass (all tracks except 9 & 11)
Martin O’Neill: bodhran (track 1)
String Quartet: (Track 9)
Vicky Fifield: 1st violin
Emma Smith: 2nd violin
Vicky Matthews: cello
Beth Symmons: double bass

Great Scottish band! The addition of guests like Duncan Chisholm-fiddler extraordinaire- and Julie Fowlis-an authentic voice of Scotland- make it perfect. dardar1126

Just the most fun. Every set is one I want to sit down and learn, and they play with so much ENERGY and STYLE. Crunchy, tangible sound. I'll never get tired of listening to Kinnaris Quintet play. andpersand

Dystopia was my introduction to Talisk when the live version of it was out on youtube. Between the energy and life not just by the music itself, but the people playing it being so engrained into the songs themselves, Talisk has become a foot-stomper, and an absolute jam of a band to put on full volume. ladyoforion

I did find this band in Youtube, Live at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2023. For me it was so good, can't find words, it blew me away and still does. dahlrockson
