Halifax music store

[rimau]

Are there any music stores in Halifax within walking distance of the pier? We have gotten quite fond of Canadian music.

Just wondering what you mean by Canadian Music??

[rimau]

The Arrogant Worms, any Cape Breton music, Buddy Wasisname. DH likes humor, I like folk.

OK That' s referred to as East Coast Music.

You would not be disappointed with recordings by Tanglefoot or the late Stan Rogers.

 

Oh, and use FRED the Bus top get around town for free.

Is there and HMV? They're pretty good about ordering any music you're lookg for. I sencond that motion about Stan Rogers. He was the best.

Also there is iTunes?

Your first stop is likely right inside the terminal building where they have the market set up. It's been years since we were in there, but they had a very wide range of things for sale, not just t-shirts and sea shells LOL.

There's HMV on Spring Garden Road - about a 15 or 20 minute walk from the pier. It should have what you want. One of my favourites is Great Big Sea. They are from Newfoundland and are a mixture of Newfoundland kitchen party/country/rock. Wonderful stuff.

Love Great Big Sea

[parker6]

definately Great Big Sea - their albums are awesome! don't know if you'll find Buddy Wassisname - but worth looking for! And look for a Cd with 'song for the Mira' on it - it's a Nova Scotia classic!

Thanks parker6

Google: John McDermott (Canadian) Out on the Mira

You won't be disappointed, it may even bring a a little tear to your eyes. But then John McDermott's singing generally does. Enjoy
