About
Filled with renditions of popular Newfoundland and Labrador songs and tunes, sprinkled with one-liners and wit and occasional display of culture, this group of five has become one of the most widely-attended acts in the whole province. Almost by accident, and practically overnight, the ANCHORS AWEIGH band has found its way onto the list of "things-to-do" for local residents and visitors alike.

- Paul P4 contributionsGreat Fun!As foretold by friends who attended in past, Anchors Aweigh is great fun...a must see if you are in Rocky Harbour. We were told by our B&B host that you could reserve seats in advance. When we goth to the venue, we were told we could only do that if we also ate dinner there beforehand, so we did that. Enjoyed the meal as well but it does make for a long evening of sitting.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten July 4, 2023
- Marg & Larry4 contributionsAn amazing evening.Anchors Aweigh is a must see if you are in Rocky Harbour. A toe tapping, hands clapping high energy show. The 5 musicians are all very talented and their pride in New Foundland is wonderful. This is a very entertaining evening. We had reservations for supper which was very good too.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten July 30, 2023
- KathySarnia, Canada10 contributionsAnchors AwayThis was one of the major highlights of our trip to Newfoundland. For us it was the Grand Finale of an amazing 10 day trip to this beautiful island. The musicians were incredible lead by Front Man Wayne Parsons…. The performance exceeded all of our expectations with surprises at every turn. Don’t miss it and make sure you book ahead or you likely won’t get a ticket. Also… another tip is to get there early and have dinner at the Anchor Pub. Great food and great staff!Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten September 10, 2023
- jdgsonbeamOakville, Canada10 contributionsAn absolute must seeYou cannot go through this area without seeing this show. Traditional NF music, high tempo and lots of fun. Musicianship is top-notch, very professional tight band. You MUST book in advance, it is often sold out. Another tip is that once you are booked, you can call and reserve a table - if you don't, you need to get there at 6 and have dinner. Dinner is quite decent, good quality pub food.Visited August 2023Travelled with friendsWritten September 20, 2023

A super show with excellent local fish and chips. The musicians were consummate professionals with a very high standard of musicianship. As well as the songs they kept the audience entertained with quips and asides. The numbers were a mix of local folk and more general folk music. We had a great time and would definitely recommend a visit.

Super fun and entertaining! The music highlighted both Newfoundland folk music, music across Canada and also music throughout the word. The band members are talented and extremely funny and charismatic. We had the best night out.
Pro tip : head over to the anchor pub around noon to reserve your table. We had dinner and drinks and it was great.

An amazing show! Extremely lively, immensely fun, with incredibly talented musical performances by all band members - their musicianship is polished to a fine shine, yet their infectious energy, spontaneous joy and love of their craft shone even more brilliantly!

Very good show. Lots of talent and very entertaining. The show was sold out and probably is most of the season.

Do the shows run nightly over the summer. We would like to be sure we're in town on the right night? We're planning on being in Rocky Harbour on Saturday August 10 (2019)

Hi. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (June 1 – Sept 21). Also showing on Sept 28. Better call the Hotel (internet search) for reservations. Tickets are at a premium due to popularity. Get there early for dinner and to hold the table you want. Enjoy Dianne

How much are tickets for the show
Dianne L

I don't know. Sorry. I was on an all-inclusive tour and even if I had noticed the price on the ticket, it might not have been what someone traveling alone would pay. Call Ocean View Hotel. Well worth it, whatever they are.
