Since forming out of the Edinburgh session scene of the late 90s Malinky has, for the past 25 or so years, been the leading group focusing on Scots traditional song. With four acclaimed albums under their belt and an extensive tour roster across the globe, Malinky has become one of the most distinctive and accomplished bands on the Scottish folk scene.
Folk Band of the Year in 2010's Scots Trad Music Awards, Malinky's hallmark song-based repertoire is performed by three superb lead vocalists and arrayed with tastefully inventive instrumentation, uniting seasoned maturity with sparkling freshness. With two folklore and traditional music graduates amongst their ranks, Malinky combine a deep knowledge of tradition with a subtly creative approach, described by Scotland on Sunday as one of the most imaginative of Scots-language bands, breathing new life into centuries-old ballads from Scotlands north-east, alongside original song-writing and tunes.
Continuing on their distinctive mission as the contemporary champions of traditional Scots song, Malinky launched their 20th Anniversary Album - Handsel (Greentrax Recordings) in 2019.
The current quartet, centred on the outstanding voices of Fiona Hunter, Steve Byrne, and Mark Dunlop also features award-winning composer Mike Vass, with instrumentation including bouzouki, guitar, fiddle, whistle, bodhrán and cello.
