Alan Doyle

Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies were amazing! Loved the show! Alan ROCKS!

First time seeing him and I was not let down. Better that I even hoped for.

Alan Doyle and his band put on a wonderful show at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary. The opening act was good, and then Alan and band came on stage and put on a wonderful show - some Great Big Sea hits, some Newfoundland songs, some "sailor" songs, and a great selection of songs for Alan Doyle's pas and latest albums. Sound quality was great and the musicians were all wonderful. The violin/fiddle player was a special treat for us - she was amazing. We'd definitely go and see Alan Doyle again.

Alan Doyle kept us clapping and dancing all night and continued to impress with a double encore! By far one of the best shows I've ever been to! Highly recommended!!!

Alan Doyle and his band always put on a great show but on this night, it was beyond spectacular. People got up and danced; they sang along to the songs, and they were in awe to the performance. Good time was had by all. The venue doesn't have a bad seat in the place, even the obstructed view seats are decent. Highly recommend seeing Alan Doyle anywhere he is scheduled to perform.

This was by far one of the best shows I have seen in years! Not only was the music great the band was fully engaged with not just the music but, with there fans.

So much fun! Fun place, good food and drinks! Awesome music from Alan Doyle!!!

Such a fun evening! Alan Doyle's outsized personality shone as always, with both new music and old favorites from Great Big Sea bringing the audience to its feet. The new band is terrific!

I've been a fan of Great Big Sea for over 20 years, so was really looking forward to seeing Alan with The Beautiful Gypsies. LOVED every minute of it!

Absolutely fantastic! Alan and Band were Spot On! Great show , sound , setting and seating. Also ordered some snacks before the show and the were great. Service also very good.

You can tell that Alan Doyle just loves to be up on stage. The old tunes were great and the new ones, although not as familiar were very good. Great energy and stage presence. Sound quality was excellent.

Wonderful performer in a great venue. Doyle surrounds himself with accomplished musicians.

Concert was excellent, he was even better than his solo show a few years ago! Wonderful venue, will visit again.

I've been a longtime fan of Great Big Sea but this was the first time I'd seen Alan Doyle play as a solo artist. I hadn't heard a single track of his album before the show, but ran out at intermission and bought a cd. It's been on auto play in my car and on my iPhone ever since. The band he's playing with is very talented and adds soulful backing vocals and lively musical energy to the fantastic voice of the lead singer. They performed a great show, and to my delight the live performance of the album tracks is nearly perfectly duplicated on the cd. I love it when that happens! He also threw in some GBS favorites and a cover of Mellencamp's Paper and Fire which was perfect.

The Alan Doyle band did not disappoint. Alan was spot on for the almost 3 hour show. Just amazing. This performance will go down as one of my all time top ten concert experiences. We all know that Alan is a pretty good actor, however if he was "acting" like he was having a good time, then the he deserves The Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Bafta, Oliver, etc. awards. Clearly he and the band are just having a great time and love what they are doing. I only wish he would do some dates in the Miami area.

Best concert ever. If you have the chance to see him perform definitely do so. The venue was small but everyone there had the best time ever.

A solid 3 hours of entertainment (with a short interimission). So much fun - everyone was up and dancing. Audience participation was high on the list of why I would recommend this show. The new songs are great - and there were a few Great Big Sea songs mixed in. Even a cover of a John Mellencamp song ... Special guest, Jim Cuddy, joined in on one song. Step dancers added to the fun on two songs. With the exception of the bass player, everyone played mulilple instruments over the course of the show. Alan Doyle draws everyone into the party; it is clear that he loves what he does for a living and is grateful to his audience for their support.

Probably the best concert I have ever been too. Super talented musicians with a good stage presence and sense of humour. Great venue and audience interaction. Great songs and ability to take requests. You felt like you were hanging out in a living room with a superstar!

It's not often I would consider traveling from California to Vancouver to see a performer but Alan Doyle is the exception. Alan is a fantastic entertainer who's full of energy, positive vibes and never afraid to poke fun at himself. Plus his talent doesn't end with his on stage persona. He's singer, songwriter, musician, actor, comedian...the whole package! We had such a blast and met so many new people who will remain friends for life. Once again, thank you Mr Doyle for making a performance into an EVENT!

Alan Doyle sounded as good in person as he does on his CD. He interacted a lot with the audience. He performed a couple of twitter- requested songs without the backup band. It was amazing.
