Finnigan

Finnigan were Jim Flynn "on guitar, rubber chicken, and stories" and Peter Stoney "on banjo, mandolin, and tamborine." These guys were a hilariously entertaining duo from Eastern Canada. Jim has continued entertaining audiences around the world with this unique brand of Eastern Canadian hilarity. His Finnigan partner, Peter Stoney, is untraceable on the internet at this point. If anyone knows what happened with him, please let me know.

This LP, Finnigan and Their 'Good Time' Travelling Show Live in the Maritimes is as good a live album as you're likely to find. It's back-to-back energy and, well, good times!

A classic from these guys is called "7 Old Ladies" and it features some great crowd participation. There are some off-colour jokes in the intro that you may not appreciate, but it is what it is, and the song itself is brilliant. The other two tracks are songs you've probably heard a million times in your favourite Irish pub: Nancy Whiskey and Farewell Nova Scotia.
