How the 1992 cod moratorium led to the rise of Newfoundland music
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
This year, musician Con O’Brien is celebrating 35 years with his band the Irish Descendants. They’re local legends in Newfoundland and Labrador, but they’re also part of a wave of modern traditional music that swept across the country in the ’90s. As the Irish Descendants embark on their annual cross-country Christmas tour, Con joins Tom Power to talk about their journey — from the 1992 cod moratorium to their interpretation of Otto Kelland’s song “Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary's” and beyond.
