The Angel Band grew out of a larger session of traditional Irish and British Isles music that was started over 20 years ago in a Portsmouth pub. A few from that session decided in 1993 to learn more about, and play, the music of Ireland's National Composer, Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). By early 1994, they realized they had the components, talent, expertise and instrumentation of a viable musical entity and so the Angel Band was born. Their name was provided by Janna  Barbour, the daugher of Band guitarist, who believed that whenever the Band came to her house to practice, angels would come in and fly around them. Members of the Angel Band include: Mary Paul, Celtic Harp; Bob Paul, Hammer Dulcimer/Irish banjo; Cathryn Norris Hamilton, Violin; Mark "Rocky" Rockwood, Mandolin; Bob "Frosty" Frost, Banjo; Emery T. Hutchins, Concertina/Bodhran; David Behm, Guitar. The Angel Band is a juried member of the New Hampshire Artist Touring Roster of the New Hampshire Council on the Arts, and is also a member of the New England States Artist Touring Roster of the New England Foundation for the Arts, Boston MA.

The First Congregational Church of Kittery Point was founded in 1714, though its first minister the Reverand John Newmarch arrived in Kittery in 1694, just graduated from Harvard and employed by the town as minister and school teacher. By 1751 the Rev. Newmarch had baptized 1796 people, including William Whipple who later signed the Declaration of Independence. The current church building dates to 1730 and includes a bell cast in the foundry owned by Paul Revere's family.
