00:00Everybody played Newfoundland

00:05and traditional Irish music

00:06first and foremost,

00:07and most of that came

00:08from the lips of fellows

00:11like Ralph O'Brien.

00:12We had tremendous success

00:13with our albums and all that,

00:15but I always had in my mind,

00:16I always wanted to open a bar.

00:19So what I did in actual fact

00:20is I created a venue

00:23for the Sons of Aaron.

00:25Master and his men

00:26definitely played there.

00:28A set of punters there.

00:29Dermot O'Reilly

00:30and Fergus O'Byrne.

00:31The Canamara.

00:32The Irish Descendants.

00:33Aaron's pub was rocking.

00:36I don't think I ever had a dream

00:37to have my own pub.

00:38I always dreamed

00:39to have this pub.

00:41And I got it.

00:42He was eager to sell it to us,

00:43where I know many other people

00:44have offered him money

00:45for the pub over the years,

00:46and he declined.

00:47But he knew that we'd

00:48take care of his baby.

00:55We could open now if we wanted,

00:56if people were stunned enough

00:57to go sit there

00:58in the middle of a shithole

00:59and have a pint.

01:03St. John's has an energy about it

01:05that most places don't have.

01:07It has a sense of assuredness

01:08that most places don't have.

01:10And most of all,

01:11it has this music

01:12that's the lifeblood of the place.

01:14Aaron's was a funny little room

01:16that somehow managed

01:17to capture all of that.

01:18I'm thrilled that Chris and Bob

01:20is taking it over

01:21because the music is going to live.
