Check out our Good Time Gospel Series from 1996. We are sharing one video per day until we have uploaded seven. These videos were made 25 years ago at Hibbs Cove School by Port de Grave Productions – owner Harris Porter. The show featured a number of singers and groups from around the area including some from the Port de Grave Peninsula. The show was hosted by Robert Ball.
We want to thank Harris Porter for allowing us to share these videos on our YouTube channel with you.
