This year, for the first time, there was a French stage at the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival in St. John's. This video shows the Benoit Kitchen Party consisting of Benoits and Cormiers from the west coast of Newfoundland.

Bonjour, the 1st. tune is a Scotch jig [sorry, don't know the name] I learned from the playing of Cyril Robia [Port au Port, Cap St.George], the second is a version of "Caber Feigh" [the stag's antlers"], the third is a generic Gaelic tune re-worked in the southwest Nfld. style, the fourth is a jig very popular in Canada called "Donegal Jig" or "Over the Garden Wall"..probably Irish, but I've never heard an Irish fiddler play it...bonne nuit et bon soir...J.Snider.
