Anyone remember seeing " The Platters " in 1973ish. Between where Patrick's is and the Weirs Bridge on. Was a Old nightclub ( Lounge ) on the water.

"Edgewater" comes to mind.....small club but had awesome bands
went there a few times

There is another regional band that was extremely popular. 'Sweet Misery' from Concord. I remember caged female dancers at 'Outer Limits' in Tilton!

I know it was mentioned previously, but if you ever have the chance to see Albert Cummings, go.

Anyone remember seeing the Incredible Two Man Band? They played Iriwins in the early - mid 70’s. Great show including a “flying” keyboard solo.

Hey Sam, I remember being at that Edgewater Club, but can’t remember where it was. Things are a bit fuzzy from those days

Do you remember its location?

Coming from The Weirs Bridge heading to Patrick's Pub. Go past the Governor's Island entrance on the left. In about a 1/3 of a mile there is a Large Building on the left (on the Edge of the Water ) Just before the big curve in the road that have seen many accidents. They were pretty loose with checking your ID as well.

Haha They say if you remember the 70's you weren't there.
It was on the waterfront on rt 3A in Gilford. Building is still there and now a condo

SAMIAM, do you remember the guy from the Weirs Times that bought the WW2 VET and his Wife lunch at your restaurant a couple years ago?

It made his day. They were just coming back from Laconia and he had just found out 2 hours earlier that he had Cancer. They stopped at your place for Lunch on their way back to Wolfeboro It was such a great feeling for him, he wrote a 3 page letter thanking us. Glad it made his day. Life is to short, it's nice to pay it forward as much as you can.

The name of the restaurant was the White Hat.
