I just received notice of this fund-raising event for the Mystic Sea Music Festival:

Saturday, January 8, 2011, 1:00 - 5:00 pm

Frohsinn Hall (aka the German Club)
54 Greenmanville Avenue
Mystic, CT

Join us for a singaround attended by singers and fans from Gloucester, MA, to New York City and beyond as we raise excitement and funds for the 2011 Sea Music Festival at Mystic Seaport!

The Pub Sing/Chantey Blast has been organized by the Friends of the Festival. The Friends of the Festival is a program Mystic Seaport started some years ago to generate much-needed support to keep the annual Sea Music Festival alive. Ticket sales offset less than half of the Festival's expenses, and without the generous gifts of a growing number of Friends this unique event would not continue. Come join us and become part of the Sea Music Festival family!

The Pub Sing offers free admission. A suggested donation of $15 is welcome. All proceeds will support the 32nd Sea Music Festival, held June 9-12, 2011. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted at the door. No reservations needed. For more information email smf@mysticseaport.org or call 860.572.5302, ext.5037.

This special event is a whole lot of fun and a fine way to provide financial support for the Festival. If you've never attended the Festival, this special event also functions as an introduction to what happens at the late night shanty sings in this same dance hall.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
