Tarras

TARRAS are a six-piece band hailing from the north of England and the borders of Scotland.

They play an exciting blend of self-penned songs and traditional material, reworked in the band's distinctive style. Instruments including accordion, violin and cittern give Tarras a traditional sound, but fused with drums, bass, piano and guitar, the songs and arrangements become very contemporary in style.
