Lots of fun, it always makes my day! I learned #1 as "All Bound To Go", from the singing of Danny Spooner.

Sorry Carol & I won't be there this month. We'll be in Sharon CT, at the Folk Legacy Weekend. Sing some Chanties and Forbitters for us.

I am planning to be there, and Charlie, I agree with Linn! It's September, and it's time to get warmed up for the Maritime festival! Linn, I am expecting to make it to Nick's show on the 20th. Anybody else coming this Saturday?

The September Press Room Shanty, Forebitter, and Foc's'l Ballad Session-In-Exile will be this Saturday, September 15th 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.

For consistency and ease is searching for past threads, I'm continuing to refer to the session in the header as "Press Room" even though we're meeting for the time being at the Continental north of Dover and not in Portsmouth.

I'm pretty certain the monthly shanty singaround will be returning to The Press Room when they finally finish up and reopen...which should be reasonably soon. I won't know whether the Friday session will be able to return -- the space will be considerably smaller and very differently configured. I've seen the plans, etc., but won't have enough information to make a decision until it's finished and furnished.

Nick Noble is again hosting a live 4-hour PMFF promo on his WICN (WICN.org) radio show, "The Folk Revival" on Thursday, September 20. Please PM me for more information or to let me know you'll be there.


PMFF ALERT! - The unofficial kickoff session for the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival will again be downstairs at the Thirsty Moose on Congress Street in Portsmouth, Friday, September 28th, from 4:30 to 8:30.

Hope to see you all at the Continental on Saturday!
