Raise a glass to commemorate Lafayette’s visit to Connecticut in 1824!
In the summer of 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette, the last living General of the Continental Army from the Revolutionary War, embarked on a triumphant return to the United States on a whirlwind trip, and on August 20, 1824, he visited Fairfield, Connecticut, where he was lavishly entertained by the Town’s citizens.
About the Performers:
Cliff Haslam is a native of Warrington, Chesire, England but currently a resident of Madison, CT. While Cliff has long been a well-known performer in the New England folk tradition—a fixture at some pubs long since passed to history and on myriad recordings—his longest gig has been playing in the Griswold Inn of Essex since 1972. Eventually, Cliff saw the value of putting together a regular band of fellow musicians to back him up during this and other performances, and so officially formed his regular side-players as The Jovial Crew in 1986.
