2018 will be a Great Year for GBS

Candlelight '16 Great Bay Sailors 2034

2017 was one of the best years ever for Great Bay Sailor.  It was certainly a year filled with sailor songs, sea shantys, traditional music sessions, maritime music, and much more.  We performed at a wide range of venues including the Museums of Old York, Strawberry Banke Museum, Firehouse Center for the Arts, the Gundalow, and Pro Portsmouth first night.  Carrigan and Blair released a new CD that is a precursor to a full GBS CD.  We continue to perform, in whole or in part, at weekly gigs at the Barley House and the Stone Church.  We met a ton of amazing new people and hopefully spread the joys of traditional music.  We will do our best to keep you up to date on upcoming events via our calendar page.  Thanks!

GBS Members at Stone Church

Thirsty Irish Thursday

An Irish night fit for everyone

6:00-9:00 PM Thursdays at The Stone Church Meeting House, 5 Granite St. Newmarket, NH 03857

Irish night, a.k.a. “Thirsty Irish Thursday” is becoming quite a phenomenon in good ole’  Newmarket, NH.  The Stone Church has always been known for live music- especially folk.  I’ve had many guest on “Local Folk” talk about the great open mics and folk dinners that used to happen up there.  Like all things, the music seemed to change over the years, and I think the crowd might have as well.  All that has changed with new ownership and the advent of “Thirsty Irish Thursdays”.

It’s both  an evening and an event in which all are welcome.

From retirees to babies to be, our growing crowd runs the gamut of people and personalities.  It’s a great place for kids and families as well as old friends, workmates, and locals.  The event and atmosphere feel familiar and all of us performers are enjoying the event immensely.  Here are some photos from March 14, 2013.  The performers were (from left to right) Jeff Murdoch, Steve Carrigan, Roger Burridge, James Prendergast, Bruce Macintyre, and cameo appearance by Chris Vaughn.  Let us know if you see yourself.
