Here is a 30 minute interview that I recorded with Sadie Nash in Branch, Newfoundland back in May 2019. Sadie was 90 at the time and the interview was only edited in August 2026. The interview is full of fantastic content ranging from family life to words they'd use and from fishing traditions to Christmas time and 'Old Christmas' day.

The community Sadie was born into was pure Irish and there is some reflection at the end and how their neighbours saw themselves. If you want to hear the real deal - have a listen to this. Thanks Sadie.
