Many thanks to Erik Margraf of "Folkworld" for the following review of "The Diamond":- Ladies and gentlemen, this is pure! Tarneybackle blend strong vocal harmonies with a wide range of string, wind and percussion instruments....... Tarneybackle come across as both proficient and 100% authentic -- and for good reasons at that............. So, drawing on a classic Dire Strait song, I reverently suggest they be shortlisted for a possible future "Sultans of Trad" award. . Orkney Reviews - "Tarneybackle gave a full-sounding and genuine performance.......kept the audience entertained between songs with humorous banter for good measure." "fusion of traditional and contemporary folk, with strong vocals from John Davidson intensifying the performance. ""........credible mix of folk"
