Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Wonderful Grand Band was a music and comedy group from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The group had a short-lived eponymous television musical variety show on CBC, producing over 40 half-hour episodes between 1980 and 1983. The show starred Hynes, Morris, Perry, (later replaced by Warden, who died in 1999), Simmons, (later replaced by Annan) Russell, (later replaced by Snider), and Wiseman (later replaced by Stamp), as well as CODCO comedians Greg Malone and Tommy Sexton, who died in 1993. The show combined original and traditional music with topical comedy sketches and satire, some of which was directed at the CBC itself.
