No problem, gnu! For the record, the best estimate of English to Irish in Newfoundland is 60:40. (source, John Mannion, of MUN). English emigration to North America was immense and constant, with a surge in the 1820s and 1830s when English parishes 'shovelled out their paupers' rather than have to pay them the poor rate. Charlotte Erickson's book 'Invisible Immigrants' is particulary good on the English in the US. You never hear anyone call themselves an English-American, though, unlike all those Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans. Curious! My father (and the five previous generations) was born at Joe Batt's Arm, Fogo island but I'd never call myself a Newfoundland-Englishman..........

re music - for the best English-Newfoundland songs, try Anita Best and Pamela Morgan.
