This live to air broadcast was one of the hardest I had to do, yet somehow the most meaningful. NL lost one of its own with the untimely passing of legend Mark Hiscock. The first hour paid homage to this outstanding squeezebox player—one of the best the island has ever seen. I was able to talk to Paul Hamilton and Lindy Hickey of Hamilton Sound and Dave Fitzpatrick of The Fables. They shared their personal experiences with Mark and of course with his founding of the iconic band Shanneygannock. You'll hear some from Mark as well as Shanney and others to pay tribute to the one who is playing for those who passed before him.
Also on the show, we cannot forget the New Music Monday with debuts from Corey Poole, Kim Hamlyn, Logan Bolt, Evan Watts Smith and the sneak peek at Silver Wolf Band's newest single. All this and more on this podcast taken from the live show May 12, 2025.

You know I’m all about promoting Newfoundland music and the artist and such but this is the show branching out and introducing you to other aspects of what Newfoundland has to offer.
I will spend some time talking to Linda Hickey. Who is Linda Hickey you ask? Glad you did. Linda wears many hats. She is manager of Engagement & Development for Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador. President of Creative Cultural Experiences and Performance Coordinator for Hamilton Sound which btw is performing tonight at St. Michael’s Parish on Bell Island with the GOAT, Bud Davidge for their Christmas From Our Hearts show. Linda also is President of the Bell Island Heritage Society #2 Mine Tour and Museum. Oh and a songwriter with a song called ”The Whistle Don’t Blow (The Bell Island Miners Song).
So ya, that was a mouthful to type out. I am looking forward to talking to Linda about what she does as well as some Christmas traditions she did as a child growing up in Newfoundland.

After talking with Asetha Power - Country Eastern, I came up with this weeks podcast and thinking you're going to like what I have in store.
Back when I did the show the first time around, not many musicians from NF were female. Since the show began again, I am finding so many amazing and talented female artists and so with that said, this coming podcast will be dedicated to them, the Women of Newfoundland Music.
I'll be playing a ton of artists from the women pioneers like Joan, Joy, Trina to today's artists, Tammy , Asetha, Laura Lynn, Shanda and many more for the 90 minutes. Not only going to chat about the musicians but 2 women who own and operate restaurants here in Ontario that cater to the Newfoundland community. Yes, I know there are more out there and you all are appreciated but I'd have to have my own radio station to go through them all, lol. Maybe one day.
So be sure to tune in live every Monday night at 8PM EST on www.ckwr.com, and of course can listen to past shows online on Spotify, Apple Music and MixCloud.
Will also be talking to Natasha, the shows Music Reporter, about this weekends Music NL events and awards being handed out in Corner Brook.
Apologizes for last weeks podcast not being uploaded. We had some technically difficulties. But all is good moving forward. It’s Monday and not only is it National Bologna Day (thanks Audrey), but it’s also time for another weekly podcast.
We’ll talk about the Highwaymen tribute shows going on and the comments about it, if only they took that show to the mainland.
Also new music, in fact, a new compilation CD my from my brother Fitz. 10 track CD that are available for purchase from the artists featured on the CD.
And ALL proceeds from the sale of this CD will go towards Tom Christopher. He’s a childhood friend of Dave and grew up in Bay Roberts and spent time in Toronto. Doesn’t play or sing but can write songs like no tomorrow. Tom has 7 brain tumors and cancer in other areas and so this is dedicated to him and all sales to him and his family.
Other new music tonight from Gary Wells and Cyril Ingram. They’ve come together to write, arrange and sing these songs you’ll hear tonight.
Also talk about an amazing singer/songwriter who is opening up for Shanda at The Ship pub in St. John’s on November 4th.
