Great Big Sea’s Bethel Woods Center of the Arts show moved to May 7th
Great Big Sea has moved some of their shows in April, including their concert at Bethel Woods Center of the Arts in Bethel,NY. That show was originally April 24th but that one and a few others have moved for some reason. Does Alan Doyle have some Robin Hood business to take care of? Maybe that’s when the premiere is? If you can’t go, you can get a refund for the tickets. Guess I’m seeing them on May 7th now!

ReadJunk Playlist: March 2010 (St Patrick’s Day Edition)
It’s March and we all know what that means! St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. This month’s ReadJunk Playlist is dedicated to Celtic and folk songs that will get you in the green spirit; and well for others the drinking spirit! This playlist is an easy one for me considering this is one of my favorite genres of music and something I listen to all year round. I’m not one of those phony “Kiss Me I’m Irish” people that breaks out their shirt and stupid green and white Mad Hater hat every year. Perhaps this playlist will give you a bit of a variety than just listening to Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly. Here we go!

Platinum-selling Canadian folk, rockers Great Big Sea will resume their North American tour on Tuesday, August 19 in Hyannis, Mass.

What a surprise to see that Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea has been added to the cast of the untitled Robin Hood movie that Ridley Scott is directing. He will be playing one of the Merry Men, Allan A’Dayle. Russell Crowe is starring in the movie so I guess it shouldn’t be such a shock since the two are friends and both have worked on each others albums. Cate Blanchett is also set to star and the movie is projected to come out in 2010.
