  Interview with Leander Baikie of The Flummies:
  
  The Flummies are a five piece aboriginal music group based in Happy Valley – Goose Bay. They are prominently known for recording and preserving the historical, cultural and traditional songs of Labrador. Original group members Alton Best (vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica) and Richard Dyson (accordion) have been joined by Tunker Campbell (acoustic and electric lead guitar and vocals), Leander Baikie (acoustic guitar and vocals) and Sim Asivak (bass).
  ...
  The NLAC touched base with band member Leander Baikie to talk about the nomination and the album:
  
  NLAC: Leander, what does this nomination mean to you and the group?
  
  Leander: In 2008 The Flummies celebrated 30 years together as a musical troupe. This nomination means we know we still have those folks out there who appreciate traditional music.
  
  NLAC: Being based in Labrador, where travel is notoriously expensive, how important is it for the band to attend award shows such as the ECMAs and what are the challenges?
  
  Leander: Attendance at any gathering of musicians is important for us, as we all must continue to build relationships in the industry.
  ...
  Leander: The Flummies won this category in Halifax in 2003. What a feeling!
  ...
  Leander: Ask any born and bred outdoorsman who enjoys being on the water in summer and on the ice in the winter and they will tell you, "This is the life for me!
  ...
  Leander: For example, the song Me, Danny and Stanley is written about the best seal hunting trip we had ever been on. And that's the general theme for our musicall based on life experiences, both good and bad but mostly good, ha!
  
  NLAC: The Flummies have been together for a long time – what's the secret of your success?
  
  Leander: Keep it simple in love, life, and in music.
  ...
  Leander: Thank you so much for this chance to chat about music of this province.

  "Our music is definitely northern music, but it's got that east coast flavor from Atlantic Canada. It's a mixture of traditional Irish, Scottish, Inuit and American because they [Americans] used to be at Goose Bay," said the Flummies' guitarist and vocalist, Leander Baikie.

  "I was chosen to ... help the aboriginal groups who would not necessarily have the knowledge on how to promote themselves, get into distribution, how to find funding, how to fill out the forms," Baikie said.

  Labrador's inclusion in the show is welcome news to Leander Baikie, who works for the Central Labrador Economic Development Board.
  
  He hopes the show's viewers will want to experience Labrador for themselves.
  
  "In times of scarce resources for marketing and advertising our tourism initiatives of Labrador, this sort of becomes essentially free advertising for Labrador," said Baikie.
