Tamlin are a Celtic duo who can provide a variety of Celtic music styles to cater for a wide range of performance requirements. Linda O'Mahony is well known for her ability on the fiddle - able to play the fast paced dance tunes and accompany a haunting ballad with equal facility, but she is also a capable performer on the bodhran (Irish drum), whistle, and keyboard. Greg Whitcombe's main instrument is the accordion, but he plays bouzouki, guitar and hurdy-gurdy when the occasion demands it as well. The accordion deserves a further mention, as it is equipped with MIDI. This enables Tamlin to produce a very complete sound, complete with bass, string section, and piano backing!

Hi Kellie, Everything went great thank you. Tamlin were just perfect and people commented on how much they liked their music. Thank you, would use you again. Cheers Ray! Hi Kellie yes Tamlin were satisfactory, the caller was exceptionally good. Many thanks Susan Ralston Hi Kellie Greg and Linda were great, but unfortunately one of their members were sick, so we had a duo not trio, but still seemed to be a great success Kind regards Sarah Wheeler Auckland City Tamlin'sperformance was wonderful. Thank you. It made my wif'e's 40th birthday even more special and memorable. Wayne McDougal (Wedding Hi Pete Just wanted to say that the band did a great job yesterday. Everyone enjoyed the music and we had quite a few enthusiastic dancers. I imagine that we were pretty hard work for them, so even more credit due! Cheers, Ellen Hi Greg and Linda A slightly late note....to say thank you very much for travelling into the provinces to play for us at Rivercelts in July. Those who had worked with you or heard you play before assured me that you would be absolutely wonderful, and they were right. The ceilidh was a huge success, as you saw, no doubt due in part to the advertising of your attendance. So, thank you for you attendance, and expertise, and for a jolly good evening. Kind regards Rosemary Ryan Hi Pete Thanks for the e-mail. The day went really well, John from the strings was most helpful and everyone appreciated the music. The Tamlin trio was also well received... All in all really excellent! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending either act. Thanks again. Regards, Pete (Watt - wedding) Hi Peter Could you please pass on our sincere thanks to Linda Willings for her "performance" at our wedding! Unfortunately I personally didn't get to hear much of her playing, due to being a late bride and of course being "away with the fairies" but we had great feedback and of what I did hear, was truly harmonious and very fitting for Owen and I. Thanks and kind regards Michelle & Owen Burgess (Wedding) Linda performing as solo violinist Just wanted to send a quick thank you for what you all did on Saturday. It was fantastic!!! Everyone said that they had a great day and night. Lots of comments were made about the great band - so thanks! Hi Linda and Greg, Thank you for playing at our wedding on April 12th. You guys were brilliant - we've had so many people say things like "That's the best dance I've had in years!", "What was that willow thing about?" and other genuinely appreciative comments. Everyone danced, had a good time and loved your music. What you played was just great - really well judged for the occasion. It was a magical day all round! Just wanted to say thanks again for Saturday night, everyone had a great time (though some couldn't last longer than 9pm, they'd been there 12 hours already ).Your music was heard half way round the world, a mobile phone call to the UK while you were playing, and it was loud and clear. Thank you, from all your fans at Redwood Park
