Pictism create both dark and light folk music that contain supernatural themes, symbolism and folkloric aspects that draw directly from the spirit and atmosphere of the Celtic ancestral traditions. Pictism have brought their intoxicating mixture of music and folklore to venues across Europe for over a decade and released their debut album ‘Reviver’ on the spring equinox of 2025.
Hailing from their hometown of Leith in Scotland, their music is moving, impressive and entertaining. Both being steeped in the musical heritage, history and culture of their native Scotland, they offer something for people both familiar with and unfamiliar with the musical traditions of the Celtic fringes of Europe.
