Thread Name: Which 'Catters going to Whitby Fest?
Subject: RE: Which 'Catters going to Whitby Fest?
It goes without saying that The Good Lady Jingle & meself will be int'owd spot all of the best ten day party in the WORLD.!!! Now, we are normally esconced(is that a word?) in the Middle Earth most nights, but Les and Sandra(the licencees) are no longer involved in the running of the pub. A new tenant has just taken over. I shall call in this weekend to enquire about Folk Week's arrangements with the new people(who I believe I know anyway).
    Now, the Middle Earth has always been a bit "alternative" since me mates Jim, Andy & I started the stuff in the seventies, so I'm afraid you will hear Fields of Athenry every night, maybe twice! Plus every other cliched song, but also skiffle, rock & roll, trad folk and jazz.
Plus it is one of only two pubs in Whitby where you can perform outside(weather permitting). I shall also enquire wether the Late (I mean LATE) hours will still apply!!!
    If you are looking for a quietish session, The Middle Earth ain't for you, especially as some of us accompany everybody!!
    We have just recently bought a tiny pad in Whitby so that's gonna save uis at least £50 in taxi fares this Folk week!
