Celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812 with the Gloucester Hornpipe & Clog Society

(Rescheduled from June 3 due to rain! Now on Sunday, June 24 at 3pm.)
With rich harmonies and a wealth of instruments, this band of six presents the music beloved by New Englanders during the War of 1812, from sea chanteys to dance tunes to ballads about fascinating characters. The band performs in period clothing and often invites the audience to join in. The program includes ballads celebrating Old Ironsides, the tale of two teenage girls form Scituate who saved their town from attack by playing the fife and drum, and a song about Admiral Perry's victory on the Great Lakes. Both sides are represented, as the program includes the story of Massachusetts-born Laura Secord, a Canadian heroine. A fun concert for all ages!
