Thread Name: Irish Newfoundland lyrics
Subject: RE: Irish Newfoundland lyrics
Ok so this may be beating General Taylor's dead horse here, but I'll say it again! Great Big Sea! (I know it seems that's all I talk about here but it is desevedly so!) The latest CD they put out."The Hard and The Easy" was almost all traditional songs from Newfoundland. All of thier CDs have at least a few traditional songs. check out their website at greatbigsea.ca many of the lyrics are there. Also you will most definitly get a kick out of listening to WCJYQ from St. Johns Newfoundland and you can listen at Radionewfoundland.net it takes a while for the link to build in to listen now, and often you may ahve to keep trying because of the limited server capacity but the music is well worth it. Somtimes a very odd mix but lots of Celtic and maritime tunes in the mix, some trad, some contemporary, great stuff realy!
