October 4 "1974 Part 2"
(Ep. 796)

PLAYLIST | (LISTEN)

.
Continuing from last week we’ve once again stacked our platter with NL records that first hit the bins fifty years ago. 1974 was the year that we celebrated our silver anniversary of confederation with Canada and that event spawned loads of vinyl records. The St. John’s Folk Arts Council ran a Confederation Celebration Song Contest, and last week we played the overall winner and the runner up. This week we spin four regional winners from that contest

Also on the turntable,  an obscure track by DICK NOLAN from a CBC recording which featured Dick accompanying himself on acoustic guitar! You’ll also hear OLIVE BAYLE render a stellar rendition of a moving Irish ballad. Plus DAVE NICOL’s career was on wheels in 1973 & ‘74 - he garnered a Juno Award in the category Most Promising Folk Singer! We’ll spin a single that charted for him nationally in ‘74. Plus we’ll remember MAURICE CAINES of THE KEATNIKS on what would have been his 84th birthday.

Be sure to tune in and be both entertained and schooled in great NL oldies music that flies below the radar most everywhere except on The New Found Records Radio Hour.
