Thread Name: Origin: The Bluenose
Subject: RE: Origin: The Bluenose
Nick, the confusion of Skilling & Martin with Ryan's Fancy is an error, but so is including Jim Payne in the group. The three members of Ryan's Fancy were: Denis Ryan, Fergus O'Byrne, and the late Dermot O'Reilly.
Payne has had a long and impressive career in Newfoundland music, and according to the link you provide has been lately playing with Fergus O'Byrne, but not as a Fancy.
Glad to hear the Bluenose will be sailing again this year! Is the big refit about done then, Simon?
