Looking for information on The Tarrant Brothers, Irish trad musicians


Recommended Posts

This is probably a long shot, but I'm looking for information on Richie and Paddy Tarrant, who were Irish musicians who recorded a series of 78s with Frank Lee's Tara Ceilidh Band in the early 1930. The Tarrant brothers (fiddlers I believe) were born in East Dulwich in 1908 and 1910 respectively, were the nephews of Dinny Tarrant, a fiddle player from Ballydesmond (Kingwilliamstown), Co. Kerry.


I'm a collector of old Irish Traditional Music on 78s, as well as trad musician myself, and have many records of Frank Lee's band. I was amazed got find out that two of the key players were from East Dulwich. As I say, it's probably a long shot, but perhaps there are family members or others still living here who know them? If so I'd love to find out more about them.


Thanks.

    • You don't need a gym to lose 10kg. Get a set of dumbbells and maybe a resistance band, find a HIIT channel you like on youtube and workout in your room, eat clean and go out every day. £115/mo is ridiculous. I thought they were supposed to be about £20 to £30 and most people give up come February anyway.
    • Point taken..I go 3-4 times a week and have done every week for several years however £115 a month is still a lot of money for many people (myself included) for a 'non essential' One can if one wishes excersise by running or Cycling, swimming once in a while. Gym membership IS a luxury...
    • Tawny owls are hooting in Dawsons Heights very near me. But very elusive birds. Sadly now on the amber list.  I have heard the owls every night for the past couple of weeks  It is good to know they are here. They are quite loud so I think they are very near. I have never seen an owl in the wild before and wish I  could  see them.
