80 Years of Saturday Nights

Rumour is, no one ever quits the Shore Club. The beloved dance hall turns 80 this year, staffed by generations of families from tiny Hubbards, N.S. Along the way, its simple formula of lobsters, live music, and secret ingredients (even Col. Sanders was denied its coleslaw recipe) have turned it into a staple of Nova Scotian summers. Spend one epic Saturday night at the Shore Club in this documentary, produced by Jeff Douglas. This episode was recorded live at the Echo Podcast Summit in Halifax, with an awesome technical crew and audience. Atlantic Voice will return with new episodes in September - in the meantime watch our feed for some of our favourite stories from our archives. See you in the fall.
