Ceol Leinn The Featured Main Band At The Hampton Blackbeard Festival This Year


Ceol Leinn is the main featured band for the Hampton Blackbeard Festival this year. They put on such an incredible performance last year that they were the easiest selection for this years number one pick. The video above has been the number one song for the band on You Tube this past year. Ceol Leinn is also the band for the Pirates Ball at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Hampton this Thursday night. (Maybe we will see ya there. We will be behind the cameras). To see more about the band, visit one of these web sites. www.ceolleinn.com or www.ceolleinn.info

The Ceol Leinn Info site is the main multi media site with the most pictures and videos. The Ceol Leinn dot com site is the official band site. So check them out and make plans to see these folks live. They really put on one hell of a show.

New Site For Gloucester County Live Feeds Postings

We have just finished building a new site for our Live Feed Postings. CLICK HERE to visit the new site and bookmark it for future events you want to follow. This is still in the experimental stage and we ask that you support it and let us know how we are doing. Thanks Everyone.

Help Save The Edge Hill Service Station


The Fairfield Foundation has purchased and will be restoring the Edge Hill Service Station on Gloucester's Main street and the corner of route 14 going towards Mathews. The foundation has a sign up in front of the building to Help Save The Edge Hill Service Station and has a web site address you can visit. CLICK HERE to visit the Fairfield Foundation. We have learned that the Fairfield Foundation is in contact with the Gloucester Main Street Preservation Trust and both can always use your support through donations as this is how these foundations stay alive and maintain our history and past. We look forward to the day when the old service station is restored and brings more appeal to Main Street.

Live Feed Posts And Cutting Edge News

If you have been watching us of late you are starting to see new trends in what we are doing. We are moving into new areas of bringing you news before anyone else or bringing you news no one else is even touching. We are also moving into bringing you live feed posts. The live feed posts are exactly as stated. We post events and bring you pictures and if possible, video, while an event is going on. Part of the reason for this is we hope you will join us at the event, but if you can't, you can see what is going on at the time of the event. Radio can't show you what is going on and TV is being ignored even more by the day. We are now searching for a good way to stream live video as an event goes on but so far, the costs are rather high and with this being new, we can not yet justify the costs.

The video we are posting at the time of the event is about 40 minutes old into the event. We are working on kicking that time up. The posts with pictures run about 10 minutes as we have to shrink the pictures before posting for faster loading times. We will now start giving you notice 24 hours in advance of our next live feed postings so that you may join in and see if this event is one you should not miss and hurry on down to join us. We are working closely with a number of people in the county to ensure we know about all the events ahead of time and working on keeping our calender clear to be at them all. Modern technology. You have to love it.

Charles Braxton of Gloucester and his Snakes


Charles Braxton who lives right here in Gloucester had some of his snakes out and showing them off at the Gloucester Court House Library during the Cruz In Car Show. This is a live post and he is still here if you are reading this before 8:30 PM. Here is a slide show for your enjoyment. Charles will be going around the county and showing off some of his snakes all summer.

Charles has a total of 9 snakes in his collection. None of them are poisonous so there are no worries. Some of his snakes range up to 9 feet long. Charles really loves animals and it shows.
