  • Boy on Bridge – Alan Doyle Alan Doyle Always Loved the Spotlight
    Boy On Bridge – Alan Doyle Alan Doyle always loved the spotlight. Although he was inclined to be the leader in anything he did, there was no place for a singer or guitar player in the Petty Harbour, NL school band, so he learned drums, all the better to make the maximum impact. He was just a teenager when he left home and moved to Newfoundland’s capital, St. John's. Although Alan pursued a BA in English and religion at Memorial University, music was his real passion. He honed his performing skills as a solo artist in the city’s pubs, standing on miniscule stages, belting out folk songs and the classic rock for the rowdy patrons. It was a rough musical education, but one from which he graduated with honours, developing the thick skin, utter fearlessness and iron larynx needed to go with his natural talent. In 1993, he joined forces with fellow pub warriors Sean McCann, Bob Hallett, and Darrell Power, and together they started Great Big Sea, where they fused Newfoundland traditional music with their own pop sensibilities. Doyle assumed the role of lead singer, and the band-mates began to assault the music business from their Newfoundland base. 19 years later, the band continues to astonish crowds around the world with their energy, musical skill and an ingrained inability to take themselves too seriously. A major band in Canada for a generation, their nine albums and two DVD releases have been declared Gold or Platinum. In the United States they are considered a major concert attraction, and play sold out theatres and hockey arenas across the continent.

    Fandom as Magical Practice: Great Big Sea, Stockwell Day, and Spoiled Identity PETER NARVÁEZ BEGINNING IN 1977, AND continuing for over two decades, I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in folklore and popular culture that explored small group ex- pressive uses of mass-mediated materials. Of the many paper topics fitting this theme, ethnographies of fandom predominated.

In general, the conclusions of my students stressed the positive activities of audiences, not the pathology of fanatics (see Jenson 1992) who Theodor Adorno would have viewed as the dupes of a monolithic popular culture industry (1991). In 1987 several of my graduate stu- dents’ ethnographies of fans were published in a special section on “fandom” in the folklore graduate student journal, Culture & Tradition (Volume 11). These exami- nations highlighted fan creativity, their collection and display of artifacts, and their social networking. Since then, fandom studies have burgeoned. Most notably, folklorist Camille Bacon-Smith’s extensive study, Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth (1992), developed a positive view of fandom fur- ther by detailing how groups of women have used the frame of Star Trek to cre- atively communicate with one another about mutual concerns and life values.

  • Alan Doyle Back to the Harbour
    ALAN DOYLE BACK TO THE HARBOUR The boy from Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, is a born explorer who carries home with him wherever he goes. Anyone who’s been observing keenly or casually over the last three decades will know Alan Doyle shifts his musical emphasis with natural ease while remaining true to the traditions of the place and people which form his artistic foundations. These truths hold on his latest release. Back to the Harbour is a folk record. Its arrangements only lightly adorned, the lyrics direct. Absent are drums and bass, as Doyle was performing select shows as a trio when circumstances aligned serendipitously. “I had a few free days while touring around the Atlantic Bubble in November,” explains Doyle breezily. “Nipped into Joel Plaskett’s amazing New Scotland Yard studio with Cory (Tetford) and Kendel (Carson). We recorded six songs in three days right off the floor directly into an old tape machine.” The recording has an immediate, intimate feeling; poignant in its clarity with themes identifiably characteristic of the Atlantic but simultaneously universal in sentiment. Back to the Harbour sounds as though it were performed in the listener’s living room. “Back Home on the Island” opens the EP and sets the scene with heartfelt conviction. This song reads as a newspaper article set in poetry. As Doyle says, “I first heard this song on TV sung by the most influential band I have ever known, Wonderful Grand Band. The voice singing was that of the legendary Ron Hynes though the words he spoke could have been directly from the mouth of any one of my father’s generation in Petty Harbour.” The weary lines of lament for a disappearing way of life remain timeless.
