Live album &#8216;Live at Kendal Calling&#8217; released in January of this year gives an insight of what to expect at one of their gigs and if the atmosphere reflected in this is anything to go by you&#8217;d be in for a pretty good time even if you are not a big fan of Ska.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri Light, sans-serif;\">The Talks previously toured Europe playing well established festivals supporting well known bands such as Madness, The Specials, Rancid and The Beat to name but a few and this has helped them to build up a fan base in several countries.
