Any "Great Big Sea" fans around here?
I know they are Candian, but they play in my neck of the woods once a year...saw them opening for the Chieftains a few years ago and got hooked.

Their concerts here are always well attended but I never run into anyone who knows of them outside of those concerts!!!

1. I've got a couple of their CDs.
Good stuff, for the most part.

4. Funny you should post this...
...as I just put on a live recording of them about two minutes ago. Pretty much my first exposure to them (other than Live 8), and I like what I hear.

9. No, an audience recording from September 2, 2006.
I thought I'd give 'em a try since Murray Foster is in the band (kind of).

6. Not my cup of tea, by my dad loves them.

But he's really big on bands that mix traditional Newfoundland/Irish music and pop music.

Haven't managed to get him into Flogging molly, sadly.
