Gospel Music for Martin Luther King Day

Plans for the Martin Luther King Gospel Concert on Monday January 19th at 5:30 is in the works. This year's location change; it will be held at the Newington Town Hall, 205 Nimble Hill Rd Newington, NH at 5:30 - 7:30.

We have short notice, please respond ASAP, as we'll need enough people, and need to put together a gospel song set.

We will be opening up the 2nd half, so we'll have the intermission to set up. The program runs from 5:30 to 7:30.

I have to double-check the time and length, but assume it'll be about a 20-30 minute set.
