:Music group

A family based band from west Belfast who originally began playing Irish Traditional Music (TRAD) in the early 1980’s under the name the McSherry’s. Toward the end of the 1980’s they were joined by long term friend Kevin Dorris on bouzouki and subsequently changed the name of the group to Tamalin.

Tina McSherry: Flute, vocals.
John McSherry: Uilleann pipes, whistles.
Joanne McSherry: Fiddle.
Paul McSherry: Guitar
Kevin Dorris: Bouzouki.

In the early 1990’s the band became close friends with legendary drummer and percussionist Dave Early who had settled in Belfast and was playing with Mary Black. When not touring with Mary, Dave worked closely with Tamalin playing concerts and experimenting in the studio. An album was shaping and in July 1997 Rhythm and Rhyme was released on the Grapvine label. Sadly in October 1996 Dave Early died tragically in a car accident outside Dublin and never saw the release of the bands debut album.
