TFAB NEWFOUNDLAND: Actor David Ferry Interview

Tom Cochrane has an eye for stories that are waiting to be told.

He’s made his impact on the arts in his native Newfoundland via digital “take-away sessions”; music videos that take performing artists away from the comfort of the concert hall, and instead stage their performances out in the middle of the natural landscapes of Newfoundland.

His artistic voice speaks with a sense of urgency, though, in his ongoing attempts to frame the fading stories, histories, and the collective “sense of place” of small, economically-challenged communities in Canada’s Atlantic Provinces.

I met Tom as I was bicycling across Newfoundland in 2018. We spoke at a coffee shop in Woody Point on Bonne Bay in Gros Morne National Park during an annual writers festival: a festival that’s helped to counteract economic and socio-cultural changes to the region since the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990’s.

I’m your host, George Maurer, join me, now, for this latest installment of Tales From a Bicycle Seat, a series of impromptu conversations with artists, community leaders and everyday citizens that I’ve met while riding a bicycle through different countries across planet Earth.
