With the six year anniversary of my blog 'Fandom, An Unexpected Journey' approaching I found it interesting to revisit some of my posts. My statistics provide valuable information as to what readers like and keep revisiting, but I mainly write about what I find interesting including not only the artists and musicians I am interested in, but also the subjects such as music piracy and bootlegging, sport and television.
My second favourite post was 'Alan Doyle And The Beautiful Gypsies…My favourites for 2016 are...'. published on the 18 December, 2017.
I really enjoy finding and sharing resources that don't come from the usual fan sources. This post had 51 visits.
'Alan Doyle And The Beautiful Gypsies…My favourites for 2016 are…' published on 18 December, 2018.
Last year I wrote a post called Alan Doyle…My favourites for 2015 are…and was published on the 27 November, 2015. I have decided to do the same again this year.
The winners of my favourite fan and professional photographs, videos and reviews as voted entirely by me…the fan blogger. I also included my favourite event that I would have most like to have gone to and Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies fan of the year.
Many thanks to Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies, the professionals and fans who generously share their words, stories, photographs and videos online. I really appreciate and enjoy them.
My favourite Alan Doyle tweet from his official Twitter account this year is…
Alan Doyle as part of Great Big Sea and now on his own has always shared his knowledge of Newfoundland history and culture, challenged stereotypes of Newfoundlanders and spoken up for Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders. These are some of the reasons why I am a fan and absolutely adore him. It takes a lot of guts to speak up sometimes.
As a fan I find it pretty hard to remember all the things that happen during the year in the professional life of a favourite musician and artist when one relies so much on social media for information and when your favourites take full advantage of social media not only to share information but to interact with fans.
My favourite tweet of the year was when Alan spoke up for a fellow Newfoundlander and member of parliament after they shared their story of online abuse.
My second favourite tweet was when Alan spoke up for Newfoundland when a Canadian mainland journalist admitted her firsts impressions of Newfoundland were wrong after she visited the island during the summer.

The winner of my favourite Alan Doyle official social media account…
My favourite Alan Doyle official social media account goes to Instagram. I love all the photographs he posts from home in Newfoundland or on the road touring. I of course absolutely adore his selfies.
It was hard to pick a favourite but I adore both these absolutely drop dead gorgeous Alan selfies. The first one is of him and his dog Spencer and the second one is from earlier this year with his Winter beard.
The winner of my favourite Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies band photograph is...
I love this Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies band photograph taken during a tour of America. This photograph was published originally Alan Doyle's official Twitter and then Facebook accounts.

My other favourite photographs of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies were taken by Sean Sisk and are now used as promotional posts for their concerts. No copyright infringement intended.
My favourite Alan Doyle events and wish I was there events are those held in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
The event I wish I could have gone to the most this year was the Concert for Fort McMurray at O’Reilly’s Pub on George Street or Erin’s on Water Street. The event was supported by Alan Doyle and lots of local Newfoundland musicians for a great cause and raised a lot of money.

The winner of my favourite Alan Doyle fan photograph is…
My favourite fan photograph of Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies was taken during the Canadian summer at PNE in Vancouver. The fan then got the photograph autographed by the members of the band and posted it on the Great Big Sea Online Kitchen Party Facebook page. It is absolutely awesome. No copyright infringement intended.
The winner of my favourite Alan Doyle fan videos are…
There were two highlights for me. The first one was of an excellent sound recording of an early Great Big Sea pub concert in St. John’s, Newfoundland. This sound recording was made available for download to members of the Great Big Sea Online Kitchen Party on Facebook.
The second one was a bootlegged Alan Doyle Trio concert in Ithaca. Alan and The Gypsies were caught at the Canadian/US border without the correct documentation.
Although I don’t agree with the philosophy of bootlegging full concerts these bootlegs told an interesting story and were well recorded. I really love the bootlegs of a solo Alan Doyle and guitar. Again these were distributed on the Great Big Sea Online Kitchen Party on Facebook.

This year Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies played at a range of festivals over the Canadian summer. These festivals were attended and written about by reviewers and photographers from a range of online music webpage pages. As part of their story Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies were included especially in photographs.
After extensive research my favourite photographs are these two taken at the KL Community Complex on 25 June, 2016 by J.R. Doaust. I copied my two favourites here and provided a link to the official site. No copyright infringement intended.
