@sinjin480 you made my point 4 me sinjin / this is what these fools do/ play other peoples music/ as 4 the pogues Shane Macgowan is the best song writer in the world and noo the band is not ROCK / its what ever you think it is / alan doyle is a joke when it comes to song writing
@redwingchief Excuse me for the newfie comment. I thought I was making a compliment. I'll study more about the canadian history. But I sure enjoy the GBS music. best regards
It cheers up the day. Go Irish folks, go! Newfie, me? With all that energy, I wish I could be one. For me it's a praise. I was born by he sea. Salvador , Brazil. And also Napoli, Italy. God bless all seas.
Both GBS and the Chieftains are great friends with GBS and I hanged out with Paddy Maloney, Matt Molloy, and Sean Keane of the Chieftains, As a matter of fact i had a pint with them all, They're all very nice people.
@theEyes629 / hahahahah / you fool / traditional songs have been around 4 hundreds of years. / they don't need GROVER from the muppets to keep them alive. / YOU EVER hear of a GREAT band CALLED // THE POGUES ? // THEY are the Band that REVIVED irish/ TRAD music ...... / not alan doyle
I would like to say that this is not Irish music, the song is traditional to Newfoundland (it appeared in the Dominion Brewers Newfoundland Song book, 1978 (or there abouts)) And also that the Pogues are more of a rock band then traditional.
@onehappyautumn your a fool and an idiot. alan doyle is a moron. I have nothing against you if your gay. / means nothing to me . / i'm talking music and nothing more. / when they write a good song to justify all there braging i'll take it back. // but you and me know that will never happen hahaha
@redwingchief - You are so funny you make me laugh! If you offered legitimate musical criticism I would actually have believed you didn't like the band. However, all you manage is name-calling - like a bully would do. Which leads me to believe that you are either extremely jealous of Alan Doyle or you'd like to be with him. It's okay to be jealous (or gay). Just learn to deal with your inner hatred instead of displacing it onto Alan Doyle. You can start with self-acceptance. Good luck!
lol, what do they cover? Sure, they do a lot of traditional songs, but they do them damn well and I can guarantee that GBS has exposed them to 10 times the audience they otherwise wouldd have been exposed to.
They modernize them. That is how they expose them to 10 times the audience. I won't dispute that they are good musicians, but I wouldn't call them a traditional band (which you did not, I know, but the implication was there), the modernization is not something that I particularly agree with, but what odds.
Yes I know this has very little to do with what you wrote, I apologize but I think that this should be said any ways.
GReat big sea ROCKS!!! I will always remember seeing thing in Concert at on canada Day in Sudbury. That was the best DAY EVER THEY ROCK SOOO HARD. how can you not smile with this music
@matthewosmond1984 alan doyle and original songs hahaha that doesn't sound right. // what has russell crowe written ? / he's a 2 bit actor from ozzy . FUCK YOU you stupid MUPPET / alan doyle is a useless singer who couldn't write a good song to save his life / he's an embarrisment to nfld / an ass licker
the Chieftians are a great band but great big sea SUCK. / alan doyle is the cheesiest useless singer ever. / what has he written as a song writer ? / not much worth mentioning / all gbs does is play other peoples songs because they can't write anything good themselves .
@superbanshee666 Listen here you piece of chicken shit. Alan Doyle and Russell Crowe has released a songbook of songs they both have written themselves so Shut the Fuck up.
@doretoredgoblen Exactly my point. If they don't like this great music by these two great bands then they can shut the fuck up and they can get the hell out of here.
GREAT BIG SEA SUCK / alan doyle is an arse licker who can't write a good song 4 all his trying / go to a show by gbs and you'll be asked to sing old nfld songs all nite // i'm from nfld but this is beyond the beyonds. / if you can't write good songs F OFF i say./ make way 4 good song writers.
great big sea are boring with no song writers in the band./ all they do is play other peoples songs and say // we're nfld ambassadors / no your not . / your cheese heads who can't write anything original
great big sea are crap / cheese beyond the beyonds as FRANK MCCOURT would say/ ALAN DOYLE is an ass licker ever ever there was one / bob hawlett is tone deaf / 3 stOOGES
@superbanshee666 YOU SHUT THE HELL UP Great Big Sea are the best Newfie group in the world, I don't see you making as much money as they do. I happen to be a Newfie and My Wife and I are good friends with them so keep your opinions to yourself DAMMIT.
Is it just Me, or is the snare drum (and the drum kit in general) more defined in this version than the actual one on the album? Where can I find this one because I prefer it a lot.
This is the best version of the song I've heard, better than any other version by Great Big Sea. The two groups work well together and make great music.
@SweetChuck008 I usually don't like watching live performances cuz of the audience noise, but I've seen all of these guys' videos on youtube, including the live shows from the dvd and the audience adds to their energy.
@DanPat121 As far as I know, there are some people with irrational beliefs about opinions, namely that theirs should be the only ones, and so they go around doing stupid stuff like disliking music just because of the kind of music that it is, and trolling.
Newfoundland english/ accent is really a mix of English, Scottish and Irish, though really favoring Irish. But really no particular accent can be called THE Newfoundland accent, as just about every mile along the shore has a variation of it (mainly dpending on what groups settled in that area most). St. Johns accent is quite often called The Newfoundland accent, but is easily confused with the Irish accent. Yeah, I'm just ramblin' on now
@marcomorphs They are from Newfoundland Which has a totally different dialect of its own. Mostly sounding Irish to me although they say its a mix of southeastern Irish and Western English.
Having lived on both the west and the east coast, there is nothing that beats the friendly, down-home celtic-style music of the Canadian Atlantic provinces! I lived in Newfoundland as a child, and now I'm in Nova Scotia. The music from the Maritimes can't be compared! I love our way of life!!!
@rhymebomb It's from "Up". Bought it right there in St. Johns back in '98; back then, no-one could buy this CD in Europe since it was on Warner America. Got a few extra for family and friends. ;-)
@LoOoNaT1C We are lucky, almost all of my good friends are newfs..two of my newf friends built my deck for me..took two week-ends and would not take a penny. they will drink free at my place for a long time. lol
I got to see these lads in concert. The place was really rockin' and the dance floor was springy so it was that much more fun. this is my favorite song they do.
i have a neon green car that has lukey boat on the side of it with a ancor on one side the hood says ships and dips inspired by these b'ys and there song
What is best about this video is they all later admitted that they were visiting the bar for drinks between takes and they said they were all a little bit drunk...and they had a great time making the video.
What great foottappin' music ! Two brilliant groups belting it out and having a great time. Some Fantastic bands in Canada. Greetings from an Irish musician.
Im just a northern California gal, but I LOVE this song! its got a catchy tempo & chorus, and the sheer JOY of the song carries it well beyond the campy lyrics. I also LOVE the Chieftains, and am so thrilled that I was exposed to so much great talent because of their willingness to perform with other acts. I have several of the Chieftains' collaborations (Long Journey Home, Long Black Veil, and Fire in the Kitchen). I recently saw a wonderful cover of Redemption song by Ziggy & Chieftains!
irishgrl you are one smart cookie, this version of lukeys boat rocks. Alan Doyle of GBS has a unique but very strong voice. These guys are Irish desendants as well .Speaking of irish decendants there is also a band you can check out called "The irish Decendands"...they are an amazing band. take care
This is a folk song from the Maritime Provences. If you like this one you will also like a lot of Stan Rogers' stuff. I particularly like his originals like Barretts Privateers, Athens Queen, Mary Ellen Carter, Harris and the Mare, etc.... Cheers
God Alan Dole just does it for me. Seen the boys 3x in concert and was once close enough to see the colour of his socks. Some chick with a cigarett in a tube top almost poked my eye out though and I had to grab her hand so it (cigarette) didn't burn my eye. I thnk Alan caught the action and gave a bad look like I was bugging the barbie doll looking girl. Broke my heart really.

Im just a northern California gal, but I LOVE this song! its got a catchy tempo & chorus, and the sheer JOY of the song carries it well beyond the campy lyrics. I also LOVE the Chieftains, and am so thrilled that I was exposed to so much great talent because of their willingness to perform with other acts. I have several of the Chieftains' collaborations (Long Journey Home, Long Black Veil, and Fire in the Kitchen). I recently saw a wonderful cover of Redemption song by Ziggy & Chieftains!

irishgrl you are one smart cookie, this version of lukeys boat rocks. Alan Doyle of GBS has a unique but very strong voice. These guys are Irish desendants as well .Speaking of irish decendants there is also a band you can check out called "The irish Decendands"...they are an amazing band. take care

This is a folk song from the Maritime Provences. If you like this one you will also like a lot of Stan Rogers' stuff. I particularly like his originals like Barretts Privateers, Athens Queen, Mary Ellen Carter, Harris and the Mare, etc.... Cheers

Ah, Stan Rogers... The writer of Canada's Other National Anthem. Just have a listen to "Northwest Passage" and see if you don't think so.

@AerosmithAngel31 I would say around 1998 since that is when the album with this song came out.

God Alan Dole just does it for me. Seen the boys 3x in concert and was once close enough to see the colour of his socks. Some chick with a cigarett in a tube top almost poked my eye out though and I had to grab her hand so it (cigarette) didn't burn my eye. I thnk Alan caught the action and gave a bad look like I was bugging the barbie doll looking girl. Broke my heart really.

@CORYARTART Maybe he was angry that the girl didn't see she almost blinded you! Have hope.
