Some said they hadn’t heard such great live music in years! 125 generous supporters attended a fund raising dance party hosted by Seacoast Pathways, the non-clinical mental health facility in Portsmouth the night of November 30 at Service Credit Union in Rye. Rockingham Groove, The Seacoast’s renowned rhythm & blues band provided music that brought out dancers, jamming the floor with all styles of dancing...ballroom, frug, swim, lindy and sway to name a few.
