Our monthly sea shanty, forebitter, and ballad session will take place this Saturday, October 20th, at The Press Room on Daniel Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, from 3:30 to 7:30 PM.

Have it on reliable sources (Mudcat) that the peripatetic gnome (Micca) will be at the session along with Celtaddict and it will be truly wonderful to have him at The Press Room again. It's been so long...two whole months. (Setting a new record, Micca! TWICE in the same year!)

And Charley Noble has mentioned on another thread that he's bringing Mike Kennedy from western New York, volunteer at Mystic, who has adapted a couple C. Fox Smith poems to song.

Ernie Pigeon who has been missing in action for a few months (the months of schedules tight with gigs) has promised to be there as well. Would love to see some of the Gloucester crowd as well -- didn't get much time to talk during the Portsmouth Maritime Festival.

Hope we see the regulars AND the irregulars there! Total strangers welcome as well.
