Alan has his own solo cd now- Boy on Bridge, and has done a tour in support of it. The album boasts 13 (15 if you buy the deluxe version on iTunes) songs, plus 5 songs that are available through his website- www.alandoyle.ca. The link for the bonus tracks is www.alandoyle.ca/bonus
He's also reprised his role in the hit tv show, Republic of Doyle, playing Wolf Redmond. He's filmed yet another episode this year, and it should air sometime in December. Check it out on CBC (Wednesdays 9pm, 9:30NL).
...and he filmed another movie with Russell and some other big names- A Winter's Tale, where he plays Dingy Worthington.
...oh, and he was just cast as Senator G.D. Robertson in the film adaptation of Strike! More deets to follow!
Alan's not the only one keeping busy. Séan did a Newfoundland tour with Joel Plaskett, even making a stop in Clarenville. I'll tell you more about it some time. He also has a new album about ready to drop, tentatively titled Help Yourself. I'll share more details on that as they become available.
Bob's been a busy boy too- along with family and the band, managing other bands and the like, he now co-owns a pub with Chris Andrews from Shanneyganock, called Erin's. They had some setbacks, but now Erin's is up and running, and is doing quite well (I was there in September and loved it). Also, right next door to Erin's is Bob's restaurant, Tavola. I've not yet been there, but I've heard it's good.
Murray is working on a movie for his 60's Brit Pop band, The Cocksure Lads, which begins filming in the Spring of 2014. If the trailers are any indication, it looks like it's going to be an amazing movie.
As for Kris, he's kept busy playing gigs, either with GBS, the Alan Doyle band, or various other acts around Nova Scotia.
Speaking of GBS, they've got a 20th Anniversary compilation put together, simply entitled XX. There's a simple 2-disc set, as well as a box set (which includes 3 CDs, a DVD, one of their 1st interviews with CBC Radio, a book, a calendar, and various other goodies. They're currently in the midst of a tour to support the record, which went Gold (50,000 units sold) in a week after its release in October of last year. Check out www.greatbigsea.com for show info, and much more!
I guess that's it for now. As always, if you have anything to share, drop us a line!
Cheers,
Krista
