A local musician originally from Ireland is spending his first St. Patrick's Day away from his homeland, and he's noticed the people of Newfoundland and Labrador seem to be taking the holiday pretty seriously. Rowan Sherlock moved to St. John's last year after touring the province with his band — also called Newfoundland. "At home, you have St. Patrick's Day, and that's it. "I remember doing a gig at Bridie Molloy's downtown about three weeks ago, and they had all the St. Paddy's Day decorations up," he said. Even Cabot Tower goes green on St. Patrick's Day.
