Cpt. Alva Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 If ye've never heard of 'em, I suggest ye give a listen to their version of "Drunken Sailor", as well as "Captain Kidd" ye'll be tappin' yer toes in no time!, those of ye that still have toes, that is........you can also bang yer peg on the deck, if ye be afflicted by that particular infirmity.........

William Blydes Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 The first time I saw Great Big Sea was before they went big time. They were playing the Lower Deck in Halifax. Even though the Alexander Keith's Pale Ale haze we all knew these guys were destined for greatness One of the best nights at the Lower Deck I've ever had. William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE!

JoshuaRed Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Been a huge fan of GBS for years and years. LOVE their pure enthusiasm and dedication to breathing new life into traditional music. Their live cd Road Rage is PERFECT for any road trip. My fave track would have to be The Old Black Rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
