Fling Out The Flag follows up the very successful Set You Free and the still popular CDs Scallywags, Live At O’Reilly’s Vol. 1 & The Long Haul.

As is the trademark of Shanneyganock, the party atmosphere of their live shows carries through to the CD. The powerful vocals of Chris Andrews punctuate the recording, while the voice and accordian of Mark Hiscock gives the record a distinct Newfoundland sound.

Shanneyganock is able to find some diamonds in the rough each time they embark on a new recording project and this time is no exception. The uptempo opening song “This Town” sets the tone for the CD. “Flag of Newfoundland” harkens back to the days when Newfoundland was voting to either join Canada in Confederation or stay independent. As well, Shanneyganock put their own unique arrangements to the traditional songs “Jesse Monroe”, “Sarah” and “My Father’s Old Souwester”. Shanneyganock’s version of the Bruce Moss song “Lord Of The Island” & Jez Lowe’s “St. John’s Jail” are given the Shanneyganock special touch and sound magnificent.

Chris Andrews showcases his writing skills again and has collaborated with Alan Doyle from Great Big Sea to produce another gem, “Roving Newfoundlander”, which says it all about the special people we are.

Special friends of Shanneyganock guested on this CD. They include Bob Hallett, Andrew LeDrew, Mike Hanrahan, Elliot Dicks, Kris MacFarlane & Shelley Chase.

This CD, as with all Shanneyganock recordings, will have your heart racing even if you’re not dancing.
