What's intriguing is what makes them such a sensation: A unique melding of traditional and folk music, shot right up the middle with the zaniest humour this side of Monty Python!

During the course of the evening, the rubber faced Buddy, dressed in what can only be described as castoffs from Ed Grimley and K.D. Lang, and appearing at times to be a cross between a slightly bewildered Tom Smothers and a Maritime Gomer Pyle, held the audience in the palm of his hand.

This trio of Newfoundland entertainers could market the elasticity of Buddy’s face alone, for two solid hours of entertainment. This flex-a- faced, turbo-powered piece of Newfoundland biology, stage-named Buddy, became in the course of the evening, not just a complete percussion ensemble courtesy of evety body part imaginable, but he also became a piston firing, "son of a horn" tootin’ automobile in the song, Me Car.

The trio's manic mix of wacko humour, colorful characterizations and sweetly sung homespun ballads crossed all generations and musical preferences to win over virtually everyone in the audience regardless of age, temperament or sophistication.
