That's Jim Payne and Fergus O'Byrne, from Newfoundland for a couple of weeks - and here is a page about them, witn a music sample link.

I'm hoping to get along tonight to a concert they're doing in Harlow (The ARC, Old Harlow, 8pm, £7, with a bar) - we've got a campus of St John's University in the town, which should ensure a few Nefoundlanders in the audience.

Haven't come across them before - but the music link on that link I gave there promises a good evening - and they sound well worth looking for on their tour over here.(Details of venues are here.)

Now there's a piece of the rock you shouldn't miss. They're good!

Fergus is an Irisman by birth and a founding member of Ryan's Fancy. He is easily one of my favourite traditional singers. Jim is a singer songwriter with a penchant for Newfoundland History. I am unfamiliar with St. John's University, but when I went there, Memorial University Of Newfoundland had a campus in Harlow.

Every Time Fergus and Jim come back from wherever they are on Tour,They always say Jayzus Frank,Where ever we go,when they know that we're from Newfoundland,people are always asking "Do You know Frank Maher?'...I think it would be fun if You are talking to them,if you would ask them the same thing...
