Ellen Power
Ellen Power is 13 years old. Her father, Pius Power Jr., and her grandfather, Pius Power Sr., were well-known traditional singers from Placentia Bay. She has performed at the Burin folk festival and is a regular participant of this festival as well as the Young Folk at the Hall concert and local song circles. Ellen says,"My favourite songs are songs that tell a story. I like singing traditional songs better than pop songs because pop songs have repeating words and you need them to sing with music. I like singing without music. I hope that someday I will pass on my songs to my children and grandchildren."
