All kinds of things…
October 4, 2007
After some very nice days, autumn seems back on track so there really was no reason to go out today. In stead I did some prelimenary investigations for some home improvement for the coming winter. First, we need to tile the utility room, the room where we keep the washer, the tumble dryer and other devices. It’s a bit of a “wet” room, so a tiled finish is better than current finish with paint.
Second we need to finish the loft area. Currently it’s a bit “rough”… you see all the roof trusses, the insulation material and bare floor boards. Right now the plans are to finish it with a combination of tongue and groove cladding (”schrootjes”, for our Dutch readers) and plaster board. The latter will be a challenge because the loft hatch is way too small to get the plaster board through. We’ll see…
Remember I wrote about our visit to the Runrig concert at Loch Ness? Well, the act of one of the bands on the program - Great Big Sea - impressed me quite a bit. Today, while browsing a bit in YouTube videos, I came across a clip of theirs. Judge for yourself…

They also got other clips on YouTube but most of them cannot be embedded in a website other than YouTube’s. This is without doubt a copyright issue. However, when the clip is done playing, a small array of other playable clips from GBS is shown in the YouTube player.

Rogier,
Thanks for the clip of Great Big Sea .Must admit they are new to us but they are very good.The clip shows them with one of my favourites the Chieftans.We have a couple of their albums.As my roots are in Ireland (admittedly many many years ago),I love their mix of traditional Irish/celtic airs
GBS music style is a cross between Celtic folk and acoustic pop?.The Newfoundland style is great and very easy on the ears.
Their website would indicate that they are very big over the pond? and deserve further investigation.Thanks again.

Yes, it looks like they’re a very popular band. I bought their 2005 album “The Hard The Easy” on iTunes, which I think is a great album. A good mix of folk and some rock. Indeed worth of an investigation of the other albums.
Have you heard of a band called Wolfstone?
