Vinyl records by Newfoundland & Labrador's pioneer recording artists.

Program Title: NewFound Records - Ep. 482 - Conception Bay
Description: Join us today for a musical trip 'around the bay'... Conception Bay that is! Newfoundland's musical pioneers provide the soundtrack for our journey as we visit Baccalieu, Harbour Grace, Kitchusis, Wabana and more. Plus we'll hear about one of The Bay's most famous sons, Captain Bob Bartlett of Brigus. And did you ever hear of William Lampin of Harbour Grace... not likely right? Well he's been immortalized in song as well and you'll hear why.

In the musical mix for this episode are a track from the first full long playing album dedicated to Newfoundland folk songs. That goes back to 1953. And also we'll shine a light on the first album dedicated entirely to compositions by a Newfoundlander. That record was released in 1961. It's a gem of an album yet most Newfoundlanders don't know it exists and that's a shame!!!

So tune in for a great mix of obscure Newfoundland oldies that you're unlikely to hear anywhere else. You'll be glad you did!
