Hamilton, Bermuda Hamilton is the hub of Bermuda, serving as both its capital and commercial center. Locals refer to it simply as ‘town’ - ‘going to town’ means, without a doubt, going to Hamilton. Fort Hamilton is a substantial hilltop fort with a bird’s-eye view of Hamilton Harbor. It is one of a series of fortifications erected in the mid-19th century during a period of rising tensions between Britain and the USA. The ramparts are mounted with 10-inch rifled muzzleloader guns, capable of firing 400-pound cannonballs through iron-hulled vessels. These devastating weapons were, fortunately, never required. The city’s pulse is located in Front Street, a harborfront road lined with turn-of-the-century Victorian buildings in bright pastel lemon, lime, apricot, and sky blue. Many buildings have overhanging verandahs, where you can linger over lunch and watch the boats ferry across the harbor.
King’s Wharf, Bermuda After the American War of Independence, the British were no longer able to use ports in their former American colonies, so they chose this site on hilly Ireland Island at the western tip of Bermuda as their ‘Gibraltar of the West.’ It served as a dockyard facility and re-supply depot for ships heading between Nova Scotia and the British West Indies. The fort was built between 1814 and 1863 by nearly 10,000 convicts who were quartered in unspeakable conditions on prison ships stationed in the deepwater cove. The fort is built of limestone blocks in Georgian style and was first used by the British navy as a base to launch their raid on Washington, DC, in 1814. It later served as a North Atlantic base during both World Wars but was abandoned as a costly outpost in 1951. Since then, the buildings have been renovated and given a second life. The dockyard now includes the fascinating Bermuda Maritime Museum, located in the fort’s former keep, an atmospheric pub, a movie theatre, a craft market, and the Bermuda Snorkel Park.
St. George’s, Bermuda This unspoiled town overlooking St. George’s Harbor was Bermuda’s first capital, and remains its most fascinating sightseeing area. The town is steeped in period charm as befits a place that was Britain’s second settlement in the New World. Many of its original twisting alleyways and colonial-era buildings remain intact, and several centuries-old structures have been preserved and set aside as museums. A handful of waterfront restaurants provide a perfect setting for atmospheric dining. Nearby Tobacco Bay is a good swimming and snorkeling beach when you are through with all the history.

REMINISCE is an oldies group specializing in songs primarily from
the 50’s and early 60’s. They have evolved from a 5-man
vocal group to its current size of 8 talented musicians by combining
the unique quality and love of acappella singing with the perfect
match of instrumentation resulting in the showmanship and charisma
of a live oldies band. Reminisce prides itself on achieving the original
recording sound when performing any song. One the groups greatest
accomplishments was its surprise performance on the ROYAL Doo-Wop
