Great big sea- The Recruting Sargeant

[Nirad007]

my favourite song of theirs (and the first one i ever heard) has to be "by the board/Great big sea" but i can't find it by them anywhere on youtube

i saw them the other night, it was their 17th anniversary, pretty cool.

i wish they'd have played this song, "general taylor," "boston and st. john's" and "love," but I got a lot of good other stuff, so i'm not going to complain too much. who said anything about them being irish?

@GenghisWanghis I think jhamacmillan was referring to the first of the video's tags.

[GenghisWanghis]

@mikeysrose oh, i rarely click the drop down to see the tags in this new(er) youtube version. ah well, i guess by trudging through irish music is how i found about these guys in the first place, so i hope many more follow suit.

[mikeysrose]

@GenghisWanghis Indeed.

You do know they're Canadian, not Irish, right? They're from Newfoundland.
