Alan Doyle at the CNE…
Fans travelled from around Canada and the United States to see Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Gypsies perform at the CNE in Toronto. A number of big name fans took some wonderful photographs which were distributed via the Great Big Sea Online Fan Community on Facebook and by Alan Doyle on his official Twitter account. An online magazine ‘Aesthetic Magazine Toronto’ also took some fabulous photographs that are available for viewing at their site.
Burlington, Newfoundland…
The official webpage for The Gathering in Burlington, Newfoundland describes the event as “As one single part of the larger social business, the Gathering will play an important role in transforming the region into a viable, world-class tourist destination through intimate music performances by local and internationally known artists, traditional and contemporary NL cuisine, story telling, chef hikes and much more. The Gathering will help facilitate people’s access to the many unique experiences rural NL has to offer by allowing them to participate in the power of the landscape and its people.
There is a short video with Alan Doyle and Shaun Majumder advertising the event. I circulated this on my Google + page. Little was written about the music part at the Gathering at Burlington in Newfoundland even though the event was attended by some of Newfoundland’s most prominent artists, musicians, music groups and celebrities and very few photographs that I could find.

At the Fat Cat in St. John’s, Newfoundland….
As I mentioned in the previous post Cory Tetford from Alan Doyle’s band the Beautiful Gypsies had a show at the Fat Cat in St. John’s in which he performed with Alan Doyle, Kendel Carson and other Newfoundland musicians.

There was a great photo that was taken by Mark Critch and circulated on his official Twitter site and a lovely short 20 second video taken by a fan of the event. Although short it is beautifully filmed of the band and the crowd showing the good times share by all.
Alan Doyle From the Road (alandoyle.ca)…
Alan wrote another post for his official webpage that was also circulated via his official social media sites including Twitter and Facebook. Alan wrote about his recent concerts and travel over the past couple of months. The highlight of the blog contained information about the release of his new single and video 1, 2, 3, 4 from the So Let’s Go album and co-written with BNL singer, Ed Robertson. There were some great photographs on the site. The fans certainly will be looking forward to that one.
A charity event…
As many Great Big Sea and Alan Doyle fans know he is always willing to lend a hand to a good cause when he can in his down time. This Labor Day weekend Alan Doyle played a benefit concert for a local Newfoundland community, Garden Cove where he and his family have a cabin. There was an article distributed in the local newspaper and online which is copied below.
Alan Doyle@alanthomasdoyle Dudes be going to the cabin. Happy Labour Day Weekend Everyone. 4 September 2015. (From the official Twitter account of Alan Doyle. No copyright infringement intended).
I have included this absolutely drop dead gorgeous selfie of Alan Doyle and his cute dog Spencer taken before heading up to the cabin on Friday night.

Over 30 years ago, on Aug. 4, 1985, a young man named Shawn Wareham died due to an accident while working on a student project in the community.
Now, Garden Cove looks to honour his memory by renovating and naming a playground and all-ages park, the Shawn Wareham Memorial Park.
Refurbishment has been ongoing for the park, but there still work to be done. The Garden Cove sports and recreation committee hopes this concert will help them achieve their goal of having a grand opening on Saturday, July 30, next year.
Sports and recreation committee chair Beverly Eddy says the concert will be a great help.
“I think it’s absolutely wonderful,” said Eddy. “ … (Doyle’s) really great for our community.”
The “So Let’s Go” performer can be seen and heard at the Memorial Park in Garden Cove this Saturday, Sept. 5, from 2-4 p.m.
