Alan Doyle credits Uncle Harry's Bar Band for mentorship

Alan Doyle credits Uncle Harry's Bar Band for teaching him essential musical skills during his early career in Newfoundland. The band, active in the 1980s and 1990s, was known for its professional performances of country and traditional Newfoundland music. Doyle recalls attending their shows and learning about band dynamics and equipment. He described the band as polished, with engaging performances that included jokes and audience participation. Wayne Parsons, a member of the band, noted the rarity of their skill set in the music industry. While a reunion is unlikely, the band performed together in 2016, drawing a large crowd.
