The group Talamh was originally founded in 2007 but in the present constellation we play since spring 2009 and performed since then several concerts in Majorca, look uo our concert map.

We share the same interest and affection for Celtic Folk and play mainly parts from Ireland but also Scotland and Northern Spain. Our repertoire includes mainly traditional tunes and songs.

When naming the group, we chose a Gaelic one as a sign of respect for this language and its representing culture. On the other side we looked for a name, which represents the common base of all cultures.

The word Talamh (Pronounciation) means Earth, Land, or Ground in Gaelic and represents also for us:

  • The land where we live, which we love, which we cultivate, but which also forms us.
  • The land of everyone, everything, and every living species.
  • The name of our planet, which we need overall
       and which we consider ours although it do not need us.
  • The only place in the univers, which we have to dwell.
  • A marvellous place, which we might not deserve since it is time to change.
