Malachy Tallack (born 20 November 1980) is a Shetland singer-songwriter, journalist and author, who was born in England and moved to Shetland with his family when he was ten years old.[1]
He edited the magazine Shetland Life,[2] and founded the online magazine The Island Review.[3] He wrote a weekly column for the New Statesman about his experiences of rural life and living on a remote Scottish island, and has since published two books of non-fiction: Sixty Degrees North (2015), which was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week,[4] and The Un-Discovered Islands (2016), which won the Edward Stanford Illustrated Travel Book of the Year Award 2017.[5]
