I love this video. I come to it often. Like salmon50 says, she sounds just like my late Nan. She was a Corcoran from St. Marys and married my Poppy O'Dwyer from St. Johns. She mentions Petey Corcoran. My Nan's brother. I am from the States. I have been to NFLD numerous times, mothers side. Blessed, Quinn/O'Dwyer. Very proud of my roots there. Even though I had to fight everytime I went there, being a Yank and all, LOL!

I'm so happy to be from Newfoundland! I don't have as much Irish in me as some Newfies since only my mom's side is descended from the Irish, but I'm still proud of our connection with Ireland. I just wish that the accents and culture were still as strong as they use to be.. I'm a teenager and I wish I sounded less Canadian and more Newfie.

What a great video. I am Irish, married to an Irish woman and we live in Co. Tipperary. I played the opening part of the video to my wife and she was convinced the woman speaking was actually from Ireland!

These old ladies sound like they could be living down the road from me here in Wexford.
There's some slight quirks but they sound almost exactly like people from Wexford or Waterford.
Newfoundland should be renamed New Ireland
