Geoff Younghusband has been around the Canadian/Newfoundland music scenes for well over three decades now. He’s played with some of the most well-known Newfoundland alternative bands including Potbelly, Fur Packed Action, and these days with Jigger. Even if you don’t know him from the bands, if you are in Europe, you might recognize the TV show that he’s done the sound editing for Hudson and Rex.
In this conversation with musician Johnny Nolan and I, Geoff relives some of the stories from his past and we discuss some of the lost greats of the Newfoundland music scene: Fred Gamberg and Johnny Fisher.
With permission we also have the following tracks:
Employee of the Month, Fur Packed Action
Silver Bullet, Jigger
Gatekeeper, Darshiva
If you are interested in Geoff’s son Angus, you can check this track out and subscribe to his YouTube and heck check them out all on stage together at the end of the Summer in St. John’s, Newfoundland on August 28.
Thank you to Geoff Younghusband (Jigger and Fur Packed Action) and Natalie Noseworthy (Darshiva) for their respective permissions.
