Thanks to Reliance Home Comfort our guest this weekend is Fergus O'Byrne. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Fergus emigrated to Canada in 1967. While living in Toronto hebecame a founding member of the Irish folk band Ryan's Fancy. In 1971 the groupmoved to St. John's, Newfoundland. During the next fourteen years, Fergus touredextensively throughout North America and Ireland as part of the trio. As a member ofRyan's Fancy, Fergus has been featured on many television shows throughout his careerincluding the very popular C.B.C. series Ryan's Fancy, which ran as a national series forfive years and the Tommy Makem/Ryan’s Fancy show that was syndicated throughoutCanada and various countries around the world. Since pursuing a solo career, he hascontinued to appear on both television and radio. We also hear some interviews from the Toronto Gaels victorious team from last weekend. Of course the music is fab and the Guinness community calendar of events is packed full of great things to do.
