Jim;
Great Big Sea is a fantastic band out of Saint John’s Newfoundland born out of several other groups, most notably, Figgy Duff. Headed by the irrepressible showman Alan Doyle and original members Sean McCann, Darrell Power and Bob Hallett, Great Big Sea was born from the Maritime music scene of Canada’s East Coast. Celitic flavour yet with their own original energetic sound. In addition to their own compositions they resurrect traditional tunes and sea shanties and give them new life. Slight changes in personnel have only given them greater depth of sound. Well worth checking out!
