22 Jan 19 - 07:23 PM (#3972989) Subject: RE: Folk Club/ sessions Tarbert? From: GUEST,Observer In which case GUEST if you'd actually refer to a map you will find there is no such place on Loch Lomond as Tarbert, but there is a place called TARBET as has already been pointed out to you. |

From: FreddyHeadey The only town on Loch Lomond with a name that sounds like that that I know doesn't have an r in the spelling. Here it is in googlemaps, could you check if this is the place? https://maps.app.goo.gl/zDKND When I looked for organised\publicised music round there a couple of years ago I don't think I found anything within about forty miles(Dunoon I think). Do you know what time of year you'll be there? How far are you prepared to travel for the evening? |

23 Jan 19 - 05:45 AM (#3973037) Subject: RE: Folk Club/ sessions Tarbert? From: Jack Campin Didn't the pub in Ardlui have them? - owned by the same guy who had the Uisge Beatha in Woodside, Glasgow and because of his personal predilections had all his barmen strapping young men in kilts. The Glasgow one had regular sessions and singarounds and still does under its new ownership. Ardlui to Tairbeart isn't far. |

23 Jan 19 - 07:01 AM (#3973048) Subject: RE: Folk Club/ sessions Tarbert? From: FreddyHeadey the word even has its own wiki page Tarbert (Scottish Gaelic: An Tairbeart) is a place name in Scotland and Ireland. All placenames that variously show up as tarbert, tarbat or tarbet in their anglicised form derive from either the Irish or Scottish Gaelic an tairbeart, commonly translated as "the isthmus" today. ... This can be where two lochs nearly meet, or a causeway out to an island. ...Both these words derive from two Old Irish elements, tar "across" and a nominalised form of the verb ber "to carry". The /?/ in tar was assimilated to [/??/] -. ...So the literal translation would be an "across-carrying". The reason for this is that all tarberts are in fact located at or near old portage sites. In English language spellings the first syllable "tar" has generally remained constant but the second syllable "bert" has variously been spelled as "bart", "bert" "bat", "bad" etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarbert#Examples |

From: GUEST That's incorrect, beachcomber, the ferry from North Kerry to West Clare is still running between Tarbert and Killimer (Shannon ferry). There is a tunnel on the western outskirts of Limerick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_Tunnel. |
