Briefly,

Whitby is a small fishing port, come sea side tourist resort on the North East Coast of England in the county of North Yorkshire, it has a long and famous history which include St Hilda, who founded a Abbey there at which, in 665AD, the date of Easter was set (first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox)
Captain Cook the Explorer also lived in Whitby for some time and sailed out of Whitby on mnay occasion.
It now hosts one of the finest folk festivals in England (in August each year) if not the world, and draws singers and musicians to it's many taverns and bars all year long.
Each December many singers/musicians gather to celebrate the New Year and generally have a ball, not in the dance sense of the word, although some of the walking home in the early hours of the morning could be classed as such.
If you check on the Google search engine Whitby does have two or three sites dedicated to it. but put Whitby Yorkshire as there is also a Whitby, Nova Scotia, several thousand miles away
