Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
Alan Doyle
The Petty Harbour frontman of Great Big Sea, now a solo artist, author, actor and Member of the Order of Canada.
Alan Doyle was born in Petty Harbour, just south of St. John's, and rose as frontman of Great Big Sea before building a solo career across albums, tours, writing and screen work. He was invested into the Order of Canada on 10 May 2018, one of 45 Canadians honoured in that ceremony, and has been recognized for humanitarian work including co-founding the A Dollar A Day Foundation. He remains one of the most visible ambassadors of Newfoundland music on national stages.

Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
The yarns

Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
