OUR STORY
We Live for This
In 1939, Roy O’Brien opened a little shop on Water Street in St. John’s — and began creating a legacy. He filled the place with musical instruments, Newfoundland and Irish tunes, and with his wife Nellie enough family spirit to raise six children in the apartment upstairs.
Today Dave Rowe, whose grandfather started the business and whose mother was raised upstairs, carries on the tradition. Dave spent his boyhood hanging around the shop, tuning up instruments, and learning from the best. He lives above the shop, just like the old days.
