Gerry Strong (Canada - NL)
Originally from Little Bay on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, Gerry Strong first took up playing the whistle as a young boy while living with his family in Ireland. Since then, he has gone on to become the most renowned flute and tin whistle player in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Combined with his encyclopedic knowledge of tunes, quiet wit, and penchant for humourous songs, Gerry has made significant contributions to the music scene of this province over the past 25 years. A founding member of the award-winning traditional band, TICKLE HARBOUR, Gerry has worked with many of the best players on the scene today. He is also a composer, arranger and storyteller.
