A Crowd of Bold Sharemen is comprised of four of the island's finest traditional musicians, all multi-instrumentalists and strong singers. They come from all parts of the province and represent the diverse musical influences in the province's rich musical heritage. The band consists of Jim Payne, one of the province's best songwriters; Fergus O'Byrne, one of our most recognizable voices; flute player Gerry Strong with his vast knowledge of traditional tunes; and noted fiddle player and actor Daniel Payne. Each is an accomplished performer in their own right, and together they provide an unbeatable musical experience. Their repertoire consists of Newfoundland & Labrador material, virtuoso playing and strong vocals with sweet harmonies and polished performances
