The June Press Room Shanty, Forebitter, and Foc's'l Ballad and Memorial Session-In-Exile will be this Saturday, June 16th from 3:30 to 7:30 at the Continental Restaurant & Bar -- just north of Dover 2 blocks from the intersection of Rtes. 108 and Rte. 9. See previous threads for address and directions.

There's plenty of FREE parking, handicapped access, lots of seating, good acoustics, Guinness on draft, and Chinese food and buffet. We're in the function room just off the bar -- turn left at the saltwater aquarium, then turn right into the function room.

This will be our traditional Memorial Session -- remembering the founder of our session, Tom Hall (Mudcat's Curmudgeon) as well as Barry Finn, David Behm (best known for his renditions of "Barrett's Privateers" and "Capital Ship"), Jay Smith who inspired the session, and Danny Spooner, Danny Macleod, and Louisa Jo Killen who joined us at The Press Room sessions when they were in the area or performing at the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival.

I really hope we'll have a good turnout to honor those singers who were such an important part of our sessions and of the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival (PMFF).

Please join us in keeping the songs they sang alive!

Hope to see you then!
