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.........

I first heard of them last year. Then me and my son went to see them in concert last spring, his second concert, first was Trans-Siberian Orchestra last winter. I always keep one or two of thier CDs in my player at all times. Great music.

Most of their CDs are available on iTunes for instant gratification. Love that!

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.
