There's a sizeable contingent of ballad singers here in Southeast New Hampshire, loosely centered around the Press Room in Portsmouth.

Since our Friday sessions are mixed tunes and songs, longer narrative ballads don't fit, unless of course, most of the instrumentalists have a gig elsewhere. And the monthly shanty / forebitter sessions sometimes will feature a couple of nautical ballads.

And if there's sufficient interest, I could arrange an occassional ballad session.
