Cuslett Entertainment
 

                             Even though Cuslett is small, there still are many
                             performers living or came from there.  These people
                             include Eddie Coffey who is a very well known singer
                            and song writer to us Newfoundlanders. Eddie is known all
                            over for his song "Tribute to Brian Tobin". This particular
                            song  tells of  how the Spanish Trawlers fished illegally off
                            the banks of  Newfoundland.  Eddie, not only sings but
                            also plays the accordion, acoustic guitar, and tin whistle.
                            Eddie  spends much of his time in Toronto but, on occasion,
                            travels back to Cuslett  and plays in the local clubs and dance
                            halls.  Coffey also wrote the theme song for the Come Home
                            Year celebrations, "Emoc Emoh" which is Come Home
                            backwards. Eddie’s dedication and love for the Cape Shore
                            quite evident throughout the summer months.

                            Eddie's mother, Gladys Coffey, is also very talented.  She
                            entertains local people by playing the accordion and  tin whistle
                            at her home.  While Mrs. Coffey is in her 80's she is doing
                            really well and enjoys going to the card games that are held at
                            the Community Centre each Tuesday night.

                            Also becoming very well known is Judith Morrissey who is an
                            excellent guitarist and singer at the age of 18. Morrissey has
                            performed at many benefit concerts and now is persuing a
                            career in music at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

                            Another person that has become very popular for his song,
                             "My Cape Shore Home" is Jerome Manning.  Jerome wrote
                            this song and composed it on the  Come Home Year C.D.
                            Manning has lived and worked in Labrador for many years and
                            while away he wrote this song.
