If the Pogues had come from Newfoundland and treated alcohol as a peripheral rather than a central concern, and if their singer were big and burly rather than dissolute and disgusting, you'd have something very much like Great Big Sea."</i> WXPN / NPR: <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95563136">Great Big Sea: Sea Shanties Meet Rock</a>, In Studio on World Cafe 10/9/08, Show is 21 minutes, and features front man <a href="http://alandoyle.ca/">Alan Doyle</a> discussing historical inspirations behind some of the band's songs. <em>"Our music is of Newfoundland.
