Alan Doyle: Happy Man
Manage episode 399482573 series 3425756
Alan Doyle says the best part of leaving, is coming home. And home is Newfoundland. His elders voted to keep Newfoundland a country, but they lost the 1949 referendum and joined Canada. Alan is the first generation Canadian in his family. We talk about his love of touring, of music, of acting beside Russell Crowe, and partying in pubs. Alan plans to keep performing forever. Why, he asks, would one ever retire?
We tried to get him to confess to being secretly unhappy. It didn’t work. His new album is a bit more country, much more intimate, and he dares us to find his actual confessions in the songs. Still, it’s the good times, the old songs and sounds, that keep him going. After years of performing with Great Big Sea, he’s got a new band and a new album, called of course, “Welcome Home”.
