I believe that is Denis Ryan of Ryan's Fancy fame, and that is Citadel Hill in the background in Halifax, Nova Scotia where he now lives. I enjoyed his music as a university student, he later became a financial adviser and I remember later once meeting him on a flight and having a nice chat together. Ryan was born in Newport, County Tipperary, Ireland. He emigrated to Canada in the 1960s. In 1971, with Fergus O'Byrne and Dermot O'Reilly he formed the folk band Ryan's Fancy. In 1983 the group disbanded and Ryan moved to Halifax, Canada where he became employed in the investment business. In the late 1980s, he became the proprietor of Highland Classic Beer, which became popular in eastern Nova Scotia for a short time. He also owned a bar in Halifax. However he remained in music, releasing two solo albums and hosting the CBC Television show "Up on the Roof" In 1994 he received an Honorary degree, Doctor of Letters, from St. Mary's University in Halifax. Over the years he has given a lot of his time acting as emcee for many charitable functions. And he continues to help create awareness and fund raising for organisations such as the D'Arcy McGee Chair of Irish Studies at St. Mary's University. His latest recording was "Newport Town" with his first cousin Denis Carey. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image http://www.ryansfancy.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan's_Fancy [video=youtube;DJxY_W_uo6Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJxY_W_uo6Q&feature=youtu.be&a[/video] This is how the band looked back in the the late 1970's [video=youtube;1ioWuDhsZCA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ioWuDhsZCA&feature=youtu.be&a[/video]
I see band member Dermot O'Reilly passed away in 2007 aged just 64 of a heart attack - way too young! That's a nice clip of the three of them back together in 2004 singing at the East Coast Music Awards. please log in to view this image After meeting and traveling with Denis Ryan he offered me some financial tips, and his business card - as things turned out for me in 2008, I should have heeded his advice - I do recall that he was a straight shooter with his opinions on financial matters. Ryan's Fancy has been one of my favorite groups, since I first purchased some of their recordings in the early 80's. Unfortunately, the group disbanded soon after in 1983. Ryan's Fancy was formed in 1971, in Canada by Dubliners' Dermot O'Reilly and Fergus O'Bryne and Denis Ryan from Newport, Co.Tipperary. Dermot, Fergus and Denis had all been members (at one time or another) of Sons of Erin and Sullivan's Gypsies prior to forming Ryan's Fancy. According to Ryans Fancy.com, "After relocating from Toronto to St. Johnâs to attend university the group became popular on the local music scene and regular performers at the Strand Lounge." A chance meeting with producer Jack Kellum, "was the beginning of a wonderful professional and personal relationship with Denis, Dermot, and Fergus, that has spanned nearly three decades, at least three television series, many Network Television Specials, and still exists to this day." Among their TV series was "Tommy Makem and Ryan's Fancy" (July to September 1974). Ryan's Fancy released 13 albums during their career, plus a CD in 2001 of songs from their aforementioned TV shows. In addition to records with Sons of Erin, and Sullivan's Gypsies, as well as numerous solo and non-group releases after the group disbanded. In the opinion of Jack Kellum,, "Ryan's Fancy's arrival in Newfoundland was a pivotal event in the emergence of modern Newfoundland culture. The momentum generated by their arrival has not stopped: The Irish Descendants, The Punters, The Fables, Great Big Sea, and others, all credit Ryan's Fancy with lighting the spark." In 2004, Ryanâs Fancy was Named Recipient of ECMAâs (East Coast Music Association) Lifetime Achievement Award. Sadly, Dermot OâReilly passed away at the age of 64 on February 17, 2007, of a reported heart attack. http://www.theballadeers.com/rf_01.htm

A big fast show fan here and one of my many fave sketches from the show was Jazz Club. In this one it's a p**s take of Jamiroquai. JK (Jeremy Kwee) sings us his new single called car pollution hypocrisy. Keep an eye on Paul Whithouse on flute and Mark Williams on bass, very funny!
