Hello ’Catters! We are very pleased to announce that the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival will be back on the streets of Portsmouth, N.H., in just a couple of weeks (24 and 25 September). See our Web site for all the details.

A few changes from the Before Times: almost all events are outdoors; the rain plan is tents and umbrellas, so plan accordingly. The concert will be indoors, but advance (free) tickets are required so we can limit attendance.

There will also be online content. We will be streaming part of the in-person festival on our YouTube channel, and there is online exclusive content on Sunday as well. If you can’t join us in person, we hope you’ll be able to join us online.

I tried to post this just before the cat fell over… the advance tickets are sold out. Catch the concert online, or better yet, volunteer! Volunteers are guaranteed seats for the concert, and we could still use a few more hands.

Here's the message from Linn Phipps about the First Virtual Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival, also happening on 25 Sept 2022:
    Dear friends,

    This is a reminder in case you need one (!) that, in just over a week, the very first Virtual Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival is happening, live and participative, on Sunday 25 September 2022. It will comprise five hours of choices of concerts, song circles and workshops, running free on zoom starting noon ET (5pm UK/ Ireland, 9am PT etc). Very excitingly and innovatively, this will be running as an integral part of the live in-person PMFF (itself partially live-streamed), and in parallel with it, on the Sunday. This enables all our friends around the rest of the US and the rest of the world to participate virtually in PMFF, where it just isn’t possible to actually travel there in person.

    • The finale will be our 6th Shanty BigSing, themed on “Round the Horn” - any song which mentions rounding the Horn.
    • Please join us for five hours of musical fun. The schedule is here http://pmffest.org/2022-virtual-pmff/.
    • Please let us know if you’d like to join in, to sing or to listen, so we can send you the Zoom link.
    • Please share and spread the word through your networks.
    • And if you can volunteer to help our rota of Front Desk Host, Tech Support and Session Assistant people, please do. (We have a volunteer briefing session scheduled for Friday 16 September 8pm UK time).
    Thank you and see you soon,

    Linn

    Co-ordinator, Virtual PMFF
