  1. Hi, I am e-mailing to see if the “Ffirehouse 6” could play at the Unity, NH Old Home Day on July 22nd of this year. We don’t even know if we can afford you, we work with a fairly small budget. Please get back to me as soon as you can. My name is Linda Callum, my daughter, Rhonda is actually running it this year and she asked me if I knew any bands that she could call to play in our bandstand for Old Home Day and I thought of you. You are a terrific band; my husband and I have heard you play several time.
