The lively Canadian folk group does for Newfoundland folk music what the Pogues did for its Irish equivalent in a concert recording done in Belleville, Ontario, in June 2006. This entertaining package features some of the group's best-known songs, including the mile-a-minute romp of "Concerning Charlie Horse," the traditional harmonies of "The River Driver," and the pretty ballad "Sweet Forget Me Not," as well as a DVD version of the concert.
