Aw good ol' Newfie Christmas song. I love it. :) Of course I'd rather the origional version by Simini(or however u spell it. lol.) but I think Great Big Sea done an awesome job singing it too. =) Beautiful pictures as well.
mumming is a very old English tradition, essentially dressing up in costume and entertaining, singing songs and performing short skits. In newfoundland mummers traditionally dress up and travel door to door between Christmas and Twelfth day (Jan 6th) entertaining and are invited in for refreshments in return for their performance.
i hate great big sea, they suck! nothing to do with newfoundland so i want them to fuck off! nothing beats THE REAL NEWFOUNDLAND MUSIC DICK NOLAN, SHANNEYGANNOCK, THE WHOLE CREW!

i like great big sea. But i am an australian with stange tastes... he he he... There is something good about having the same beat to every song though, it is the ability to sing s long in the car even when you don't know the words... or the tune for that matter.

if great big sea were singing the mummers, amazing grace or anything else it would have the same beat as all the rest of their songs, great big hpye about nothing
Thanks for posting this. I like the original better..but this is good, too. I think alot of people don't like Great Big Sea because Alan Doyle is an arse hole..so it's justified. =P Naw..they're alright.
I'm originally from Newfoundland and am living in WI and attenting college. This song really reminded me of home and helped me with my homesickness..
I was in Newfoundland last week and had the pleasure of attending a house party where the hosts mummers come out to entertain the guests....what fun! My mother grew up there and used to mummer as well.
there actully really good!!!! and i love newfoundland <- this girl is a pround newfie!!
