We were the Ryan's Fancy groupies many years ago in the late seventies. Our whole family would show up wherever we could to be there for "the boys" Allistar Mac and had them to our homes, followed them to our kids Universities, pubs, while they did wonderful things for the CBC. with greatest respect these guys still look great and sound great and we, the entire Gorham Family from the Kingston Penn. in N.B. still talk about them as if they were our family. Ole to them all, Roberta and Keith MacKenzie, village of Gagetown, N.B.

So, I hear the boys singing at O'reilly's after the ECMA's was recorded. Anyone know if this will see the light of day????

While only 21, I have been a Ryan's Fancy fan since I have been old enough to recognize the voices of Fergus, Dennis and Dermot. I strongly believe that as Newfoundlanders we owe Ryan's Fancy a debt that we will never be able to fully repay. It is because of Ryan's Fancy that I have the appreciation and love of traditional music that I have today. There is something about the melodies of Ryan's Fancy that just haunt your soul and entrance you. I'll be a Ryan's Fancy fan till the day I die! Thank you Fergus, Dermot and Dennis.

I was a young man of 17 living with my parents in Northern Maine U.S.A. My father, mother and I would listen and dance to Ryans Fancy early in the morning on the weekends. Their music and tales had a big part in shaping my life. My mother gave me the record player and all the albums after my father passed away in the year 2000 and now I am 38 years old and still listen and dance to them with my wife on the weekends. Thank you Ryans Fancy for making my life a happier one and for bringing me much joy!

holy shit, the three singing and playing and I got to see it, its like a family reunion I will never get to go back to. And now because of your opening song I will get the same bad stomach I had at O'Rielly's every time I look on your sight. Again Thanks for taking the time to put this together Rodger, it gets lots of use from me. CHEERS

Here's a HUGE congratulations to Ryan's Fancy on their ECMA award. It's been a long time coming and might I add, very deserving. When I first met Fergus and Dermot, I found them to be both wonderful people, equally as wonderful as the music they've provided us with for so many years. Then, ECMA weekend, I was truly honored to finally meet the third piece of the puzzle, Denis. And, wouldn't you know it....again, another fine gentlemen. I then had the distict pleasure of both watching and listening to Ryan's Fancy! I guess I just wanted to say, this is not only a congratulations, but a thank you. Thank you for all the years of great music, and for bringing me back to a small Church basement in Arnold's Cove, 25 years ago.

I saw Ryan's Fancy live several times in three provinces and they were always superb, regardless of the size of the audience. At one pub venue in Alberta, there was far less than a full house, but the lads stayed until the end, playing every note for the pure enjoyment of making fine music. Between sets, we shared some pints and they spun some tales of the road. Partly because of their influence, I've been involved as a musician in a Celtic band for years - and regardless of whether we're playing before a thousand or 20 people, I try to be as enthusiastic and professional as Ryan's Fancy was. I'd like to echo those who'd like to see a doxed set of Ryan's Fancy CDs. I've got everything Ryan's Fancy ever did on vinyl but this is a new age.

I totally agree with Stephanie,it`s time for a boxed set including the Sullivans gypsies takes. It`s a disgrace that their albums are out of print. I`m 32 years old so they were a bit before my time. I live in a small iscolated village in the province of Quebec called La Tabatiere.I love the music of Ryans Fancy and have only a few albums that my friends had left over from the 70`s.I don`t know where to get my hands on any more.If anybody can help me get some of their recordings please call me collect at 418 773 2434.People,we must band together and get these albums back in print.

OK. Now that Ryan's Fancy is very much in the public eye after their ECMA award, is it not high time that SOMEBODY takes a good look at their stellar career, and put together a boxed set of their music??? This is manditory, actually. How do we make this happen? Has anybody spoken to the lads? They were, they are THE REAL DEAL. (And a Ryan's Fancy reunion concert would be pretty cool too, of course!)

I've heard nothing but good things about Ryan's Fancy and having listened to songs on the radio and now, that all too brief bit at the ECMA's I completely understand. Wow... I agree with Shawn, you need to figure out a way to re-release the music catalogue! Ohio, USA

Well, at least after the ECMA's I can say I saw them ( aside from a vague 10 year old's recollection) sing together even if it was a great sounding 20-30 second snippet of Tiree Love Song. Wow!!! So, reunite, tour, get the rights to the catalogue, and get all the TV stuff on dvd. That would be great. Get the continued praise and monetary gain from it they deserve. Dare to dream. :)

I had the privilege of seeing and hearing Dermot and Fergus at Mickey Quinn's last night in the midst of the ECMA Conference. What a wonderful performance, with a lively and appreciative audience -- a great show! You've brought a wealth of song and laughter to so many fans over the years, I'm delighted that you're being recognized for your contribution to Atlantic Canada's music scene.

Well, I've heard Denis will be at the ECMA's. I wasn't sure if he would go or not, but now I'm twice as excited to see this! I only vaguely recall seeing Ryan's Fancy at a winter carnival in Labrador City when I was 10, still have a pic somewhere, so this will be cool. I'll have to sneak in the camera. :) How's it going Roger?
