Your comments from the tour: "So glad I made it last night it was a fab concert!! even if you didn't sing Red Wine State of Mind. I love the CD played it all the way back to Ipswich.

Tinlin equates to a songwriting partnership of two brothers whose emphasis lies firmly in the production of original and honest, yet well-crafted music. Tinlin's style is constantly evolving to capture the emotion of the music; from the raw simplicity of mandolin and guitar, to bigger, bolder, and dare I say, funkier productions. Yet at its heart there always remain the striking vocal harmonies, for which Tinlin are renowned.
