Originally from Inverness, Craig Irving began playing the guitar whilst living in Australia in 2009. Upon his return to Scotland, Craig studied music at Lews Castle College, Benbecula in 2012 and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland from 2013 to 2016.




Craig formed the trio, Talisk, alongside Hayley Keenan and Mohsen Amini in 2014, who a few months after formation, won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award. With Talisk, Craig has performed throughout the UK, Europe and Australia and their debut album, Abyss, received a nomination for ‘Album of the Year’ at the 2016 Scots Trad Music Awards.




Craig is also a member of Scottish folk band, Mànran, with whom he has toured internationally, including performances in Australia, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain and Belgium. These extensive performances cultivated in a nomination for ‘Live Act of the Year’ at the 2016 Scots Trad Music Awards. The band are set to release their third studio album in early 2017.
