Liner Notes

Any Newfoundlander who ever went to a party, anywhere, anytime, has himself one Hell of a good time. What we have here, sure, is this new Ryan's Fancy album. "PARTY" , is a Guaranteed good time for Newfoundlanders or anyone else, party or not, and very much an ice breaker at more and more "in" parties this season, "up Along".

Denis Ryan, Dermot O'Reilly, and Fergus O'Byrne - RYAN' S FANCY - are Irishmen "Bread and Buttered", as the saying goes. They have long since settled (and since they're here to stay) in Canada's "Happy Province". More Specifically they are residents of St. John's - students all at Memorial University of Newfoundland - and are well on their way to National, indeed World,  acclaim for their natural spontaneity of presentation, yet devotion to ethnic authenticity.
