It has been a while since I wrote anything about former Great Big Sea member Sean McCann. The reason for this is, well to be honest I am not really interested in what he has been saying to anyone who listens via the traditional type media including newspapers and television or on social media. Occasionally these interviews have been shared via the Online Kitchen Party, A Great Big Sea Community Forum on Facebook and the fans have responded sharing their thoughts, words and experiences.
After Sean McCann hijacked GreatBigSea.com diverting the results of anyone who searched this address to his own webpage (without the permission of the other members of the band) I decided not to give him any more attention. As those who have followed the hiatus of this band know it was Sean McCann who asked for the Great Big Sea webpage to be brought down because for him to move forward and to be healthy and happy they couldn’t exist in any form past and present without him.
For a man who has responded so negatively about his former employer, his work mates and experiences, I found his current actions (including bringing down the webpage and then hijacking) extremely questionable and not one of a person I consider to be in a happy and healthy place both personally and professionally. I am not sure why a person who is so happy in his current life and profession would spend so much time and energy engaging with something so negative three years after it all happened.
However, last week one long term Great Big Sea fan published a post about her experiences at a Sean McCann concert on the Online Kitchen Party, Great Big Sea Community Forum page on Facebook which evoked a range of responses from other fans both positive and negative. I was really impressed with what this fan shared about her experience. I thought she was quite brave to share them considering the discussion a Sean McCann interview brings. I also thought it was really sad a fan came away with such negative feelings from something that really should have brought much happiness.
As I do not participate on the site or any fan sites I do read posts and occasionally respond here. As I thought this post was a significant response as were many of the responses I have responded to these. I have removed her name and those who provided comments on the posts for copyright and privacy reasons.
The fan wrote…
“It is no secret that I am a Great Big Sea fan, especially Alan Doyle.
Last night I saw Séan McCann solo, something I had been dreading because of what I believe to be his role in the demise of GBS & some past behaviour I witnessed, which will remain in the past, so let's just say I am not his biggest fan.
Séan is a gifted musician, singer and songwriter and that was more than evident last night. He is also a recovering alcoholic which played a huge role in the vibe of his show.
Mostly he spoke of love & forgiveness and the strength to overcome all obstacles and then his anger & resentment would show up and he would say things like "when they get their act together", meaning that his former band mates were currently a mess of some sort. He gives the impression that he blames them for his alcoholism and is quite flippant & arrogant about his role in the end of GBS.
I went to this show not wanting to be there and he pleasantly surprised me for awhile but then he would bash the guys so instead of leaving the show with the sense of joy, contentment, entertainment etc., I left disappointed and upset.
It breaks my heart and I don't even know them, I can only imagine what it does to his former band mates and friends for 25+ years.
I wish Séan nothing but success and genuinely hope he finds his inner peace but I will certainly not be going to see him play again’.
Many of the comments posted had been made before. Many of those fans continued to wish Sean McCann all the best and offered empathy and understanding on his issues, while other fans were losing or had lost patience with the constant bashing of his former employer, management, workmates and friends and his need to sabotage their careers. I agree that after three years Sean needs to move on or find professional help rather than venting his frustrations through the traditional media and paying fans at concerts.
I also don’t agree with him billing himself as a member of Great Big Sea or former member then bashing the whole experience. One person who posted put it perfectly. “But this GBS can’t exist without me was horrible… I was under the impression that being in recovery meant owning your shit, and if that you’re still harming other people with your actions, you’re not recovered…” As those fans who have followed the debate know Sean has refused to allow the band members to move on as Great Big Sea without him.
There were some new insightful comments. One of those raised the issue of Sean McCann using the people who pay for concerts as a ‘personal therapist’, and I will add a non-responsive personal therapist that supports his actions and words with rounds of applause and approval.
One person posted Sean McCann won’t play bars only small theatres as part of his recovery. In other posts people stated Sean had said he didn’t like the number of songs that Great Big Sea performed around alcohol. Personally I have never notice. One day when I was researching I found a current setlist of the songs he was performing and many of the songs he selected were the traditional songs about drinking and alcohol. I wondered what effect this selection of songs would have on his recovery and what type of concert he would deliver.
I also found it really interesting Sean allegedly won’t play in bars or hotels. To me that seems a bit judgemental. Not every person who attends a concert at a bar or hotel drinks or has a problem with alcohol. As a person who rarely drinks alcohol, it really doesn’t matter to me whether people have a couple of drinks while enjoying the concert, as long as that drinking doesn’t infringe on my and other’s enjoyment. And as long as they have a designated driver so they won’t kill and injure others on the way home. As a former ‘alcoholic’ Sean McCann would be in a perfect place in bars and hotels to preach drinking in moderation and the consequences of what excessive drinking can do in an appropriate way.
I do think Sean McCann misses the point of Great Big Sea music in that alcohol really isn’t essential to enjoying the music or having a good time in my opinion. Their songs to me do not focus on drinking or alcohol either. While perhaps his new music and outlook may be attracting new fans who are perhaps ignorant of the whole story, he needs to be aware many old fans have lost or are losing their patience and going elsewhere for a more positive musical experiences. If people are leaving him then that is no one’s fault but his own.

Alan Doyle And The Beautiful Gypsies Help Others Out (2016)…
As fans of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies know all the band members including Alan Doyle are constantly giving their time to help out a range of great causes close to their hearts.
In March earlier this year I wrote a post titled ‘Newfoundland and the art of giving’ posted on March 11, 2016 about a newspaper article I had read where Newfoundlanders have the highest level of charitable donations that exceeds the national average… “Recently in a CBCNL article titled “A generous bunch: N.L. leads Canada in charitable donors,” by Laura Howells published online on March, 7, 2016 describes just how much Newfoundlanders give to charity within the Canadian context. This contribution has been supported by statistics.”

This contribution has been supported by statistics.”
Musicians and artists from Newfoundland (and Canada) are certainly an integrated part of raising money for charitable causes with the community.
I have provided a link to the article here.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/newfoundland-labrador-donations-1.3477399
This weekend the tradition is continuing as Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies are playing in Victoria, British Columbia for another charitable cause. The concert is sold out.
Prior to arriving Alan Doyle did an interview with the Times Colonist titled “Alan Doyle and Beautiful Gypsies give back to help Victorians” by Mike Devlin published on the 17 November, 2016 about the Canadian music and raising money for charitable causes. I have provided a copy of the original article here and a link.
I have also included a copy of an Alan Doyle selfie taken in Victoria, British Columbia prior to the concert tonight. No copyright infringement intended.

Musicians in Canada are uniquely positioned to help others, especially as the holidays approach, singer-songwriter Alan Doyle says.
“It’s the time of year [that] if you’re a musician, and have a day or two in your calendar to give back to your community, somebody could probably use it,” Doyle, formerly of Great Big Sea, said Wednesday from a tour stop in Portland, Oregon.
“I’ve long touted the role of the Canadian music industry in charitable work in this country,” he said. “I would love to know much money the Canadian music industry has raised for charity. It would be staggering.”
Doyle knows whereof he speaks. Back home in St. John’s, N.L., he sits on several boards and committees for fundraising groups. For his efforts, he was feted last month with a 2016 Humanitarian Award from the Canadian Red Cross, Newfoundland and Labrador.
For the past few weeks, Doyle and his solo band, the Beautiful Gypsies — which includes Victoria fiddler Kendel Carson — have been touring Canada and the U.S., with fundraising stops in between. Doyle and Co. will be in Victoria Friday for the Concert for Hope Help Home, a sold-out fundraiser for Community Living Victoria.
Doyle has campaigned often in support of the Community Living Society of Canada, which supports people with developmental disabilities.
“It makes me proud to be a part of a long tradition of Newfoundlanders helping people when they need help. As a Newfoundlander, it’s not just who I am, it’s who we are as a people. It doesn’t matter if you’re a rich doctor or a folk singer, you do what you can and everyone is better for it.”
The concert sold out three months ago, and will add to the $500,000 that Community Living Victoria concerts such as this one have raised during the series’ 10-year run.
Doyle has a new book out and an album he’s preparing to release in 2017. The new record with the Beautiful Gypsies will be produced by Bob Rock, who has helmed recordings for everyone from Michael Bublé to Metallica. Doyle said he has no doubt the record will sound amazing, his contributions aside. “I’m the worst one in the band by so long, it’s not even funny. It’s like standing in the middle of a tsunami every night.”
Music is a focal point for all facets of Doyle’s life and drives his daily thinking.
He enjoyed an incredible run with Great Big Sea, which has not officially ruled out a return, and his musical memoir, Where I Belong, about growing up in the fishing village of Petty Harbour, N.L., had a distinct lyrical quality. Fans should expect the unexpected when he performs at the McPherson Playhouse.
“The band is so versatile, we can do a bunch of songs from Newfoundland, traditional songs, Great Big Sea songs and a bunch of my own. If something shows up on the day of a show and it feels like we should be doing a John Cougar song because it’s his birthday, we’ll do that.”© Copyright Times Colonist

Allan Hawco’s New Canadian Series 'Frontier'…
Last night in St. John’s, Newfoundland was the official
premier for the newly created Canadian series
Frontier.
Prior to this event I have been following on social media, the Canadian traditional news media and the fans for the build up to the premier in Canada.
Prior to this event I have been following on social media, the Canadian traditional news media and the fans for the build up to the premier in Canada.
I have always admired Allan Hawco for his role in creating a
television show like Republic of Doyle about a private detective and his family and friends in St. John's, Newfoundland. I certainly admire
his loyalty to Newfoundland and those who live there and his efforts to create
a thriving and profitable arts scene and in particular
television.
There are some really interesting articles, gorgeous official interactive
websites filled with fabulous photographs of the cast, beautifully filmed
trailers and entertaining cast talks accompanying publicity interviews. I have
provided links here and circulated the official trailers on my Google + page.
Unfortunately I won’t be watching as I don't have Pay TV in the form of Netflix or any other provider. This television show certainly looks amazing though.

About Allan Hawco’s
character Douglas Brown… From the official webpage at
(no copyright infringement intended)
“Well-spoken and
nicely dressed, Douglas is the brains and straight-up savvy business side
of the Low River Company, one of the many independent operators out of
Montréal that are undermining the monopoly of the Hudson’s
Bay Company. Douglas is the most political of his explosive Scottish
clan of brothers, and is the point man for the more “civilized” part of
the trade. After a cascade of unforeseen events compromises the financial
health and future of his LRC, Douglas has no choice but to seek out the
help of Samuel Grant – a choice he might come to regret once he truly
gets a taste of what it really means to be a stepping stone in the outlier
American’s merciless empire building.”

Alan Doyle And The Beautiful Gypsies Fall Tour 2016…The show must go on!
Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies have just finished the fall tour of Canada and the United States. The tour included a charity event in Edmonton, Alberta and several concerts at a range of venues in a number of towns throughout Canada and the northern states of the United States including Mississauga, Ithaca, Wilkes-Barre, Vienna and Annapolis. The fans travelled from all over Canada, the United States and from overseas to sing and dance and have a great time with Alan and the Gypsies.
“His (Alan Doyle) presence is reminiscent of the famous “Energizer Bunny” – an artist who excludes an unbelievable energy that never slows down, never misses a beat and is fed constantly by the raucous live crowds that flow in droves to the shows.”
This is a wonderful quote from a review of the concert by the Great Dark Wonder music webpage on Alan Doyle’s performance in Mississauga. The review was circulated on social media by Alan Doyle and the venue.
The charity event and first concert in Mississauga, Ontario went off without a hitch. The band and their bus loaded up with their equipment travelled to the Canadian/US border as they have done hundreds of times before where they ran into a hitch and were unable to cross. Alan and the band looked as though they were not going to make the concert in Ithaca in New York later that night.
Alan kept the fans in touch about what was happening through his official Twitter account and posted a video on his official Facebook page. Eventually Alan, Cory and Kendel, with help from friends of friends, borrowed equipment and a case full of humour and determination that they were not going to disappoint their fans arrived at the venue and started on time.
The whole concert was bootlegged by a fan and distributed via the Great Big Sea Online Kitchen Party Facebook page. While I don’t normally watch bootlegs recorded in this way I did watch a couple of these ones out of curiosity. Despite the fact the trio did not have a sound check and were using borrowed equipment, I was so impressed with the way they delivered their music with love and humour to their fans. The bootlegs I watched were of some old and new music and fan favourites from Alan Doyle who took requests from the stage. There was also some new and old music from a solo Cory Tetford.
This concert with the Alan Doyle trio from these bootlegs in my opinion looked and sounded totally awesome. I have circulated bootlegs on my Google + page and I have provided links below for those visiting this post in the future. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
After the concert Alan wrote on his official Twitter account Alan Doyle @alanthomsdoyle about the problems at the border and thanked the audience for coming.
"1/3 Well. Today was not the day I expected. But it was a day I will remember. And age old lesson in Show Biz. The Show Must Go On. @4 October, 2016
2/3 Thanks to all at The Dock in Ithaca for dancing with @corytetford @kendelcarson and I. Rented Gear, no sound but still we danced. 24 October, 2016
3/3 We shall return w all the BGs who r gutted to have missed it. they came to play & we’ll have to give them another chance to do just that. 24 October, 2016"
Alan further explained what happened at the Canadian/US border and throughout the day on a post from the road on his official webpage. That post can be accessed on his official webpage alandoyle.ca. The following day the bus carrying the other members of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies and their equipment arrived and continued on as normal. They did not, nor never disappoint their fans. From Alan Doyle’s official Twitter account.
"Alan Doyle @alanthomasdoyle Rolling back to border and to YYZ to catch flights home. Thanks for the great tour everyone. 28 October, 2016."
As usual Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies shared some amazing photographs taken along the way on their official social media accounts with the fans. I have included a copy of a couple of my favourites here. I have also included a photograph shared on Twitter taken at the Gold Medal Plate charity event in Edmonton of the Alan, Cory and Kendel.
The photographs are from the official Twitter and Instagram accounts of Alan Doyle, Cory Tetford, Kendel Carson and Shehab Illyas. As always no copyright infringement intended.

Bob Hallett And A Visit To Gander…
Recently Bob Hallett and Canadian news outlets shared great news stories, photographs and a couple of short videos about two magic nights of the music production ‘Come From Away’ in Gander, Newfoundland where the story takes place.
As Great Big Sea fans know Bob worked on the music for the production and has been sharing information about the event on his official social media sites including Twitter and Facebook.
The first article “Broadway-bound ‘Come From Away” heads to 9/11 haven Gander, N.L for charity” by Sue Baily for The Canadian Press and published on 28 October, 2016. I have provided a link here to this story…
The article describes how the performance of the music production in Gander is to thank the community and surrounding towns of Appleton, Gambo, Glenwood, Lewisporte and Norris Arm for opening up their homes and hearts to 38 planes with 6579 passengers and crew when they were diverted to Newfoundland when air space was closed following the 9/11 terror attacks in New York city. The money raised from the event would go to fund local charities. ‘Come From Away’ has received some great reviews as it has toured San Diego, Seattle and Washington in the United States before heading to Toronto and Broadway.
Another article was also circulated after the performance was from CBC News Newfoundland and Labrador titled “Come From Away rocks two shows in Newfoundland ahead of Toronto, Broadway” by Chris Ensign and published on 30 October, 2016. The article describes the performances, the creation of the story and the reaction of some Newfoundlanders to musical performance. There was a great little video attached to the article. From all reports the event was a huge success. I have post a link to the article here…
Bob flew to Gander for the performances and posted a gorgeous selfie on his official Twitter account. He also circulated a fabulous picture of the audience on one of the nights. I have put a copy here for those interested. No copyright infringement intended.
For anyone who is interested in the story of ‘Come From Away’ the book is a fabulous read and available digitally where all good books are sold.
