From the archives, Terry's conversation with Alan Doyle, former lead singer and co-writer of songs for Great Big Sea. We should have known that Alan would end up writing a book: He has the gift, and the stories. 'Where I Belong: From Petty Harbour to Great Big Sea' was an instant bestseller. It’s about his family, the poverty that at times called for “kitchen parties” where the Doyle’s would play and friends would bring heating oil, food and provisions to get them through.
