Publisher's Summary

National Best Seller

One of Newfoundland's funniest and most beloved storytellers offers his cure for the Covid blues.

Is there a more sociable province than Newfoundland and Labrador? Or anywhere in Canada with a greater reputation for coming to the rescue of those in need?

At this time of Covid, singer, songwriter and best-selling author Alan Doyle is feeling everyone's pain. Off the road and spending more days at home than he has since he was a child hawking cod tongues on the wharfs of Petty Harbour, he misses the crowds and companionship of performing across the country and beyond. But most of all he misses the cheery clamour of pubs in his hometown, where one yarn follows another so quickly "you have to be as ready as an Olympian at the start line to get your tale in before someone is well into theirs already". We're all experiencing our own version of that deprivation, and Alan, one of Newfoundland's finest storytellers, wants to offer a little balm.

All Together Now is a gathering in book form - a virtual Newfoundland pub. There are adventures in foreign lands, including an apparently filthy singalong in Polish (well, he would have sung along if he'd understood the language), a real-life ghost story involving an elderly neighbour, a red convertible and a clown horn, a potted history of his social drinking, and heartwarming reminiscences from another past world, childhood - all designed to put a smile on the faces of the isolated-addled.

Alan Doyle has never been in better form - nor more welcome. As he says about this troubling time: "We get through it. We do what has to be done. Then, we celebrate. With the best of them".

Just What We Needed In 2020

No one on earth can tell a story quite like a Newfoundlander, and this book shows that once again. One of Canada's best sits down and pulls you mentally into a pub, and starts telling stories of his life.

You might not safely find this warm experience thanks to the pandemic, but you'll find it in this book. You'll laugh, take away a few lessons, and just have a grand ol' time.

Delightful!

I loved Alan Doyle’s companionship, voice, humour and connection as he recounts stories filled with humanity and humility. Connection, however we can get it now, will see us through this damn pandemic.

Thk u n we miss u too

Without this bad circumstance of world Covid I likely would have not stumbled across Alan Doyle. Albeit like GBS tunes but decided to chk out his books. Wow exactly the soul food I needed. Take that bar stool or couch or chair whatever n listen to this most enduring tale of a CANADIAN ICON soooo under-rated. Alan you truly are perfection! Thk u for being you!
