Whitby was full to bustin' this weekend (hardly surprising) and the Moor & Coast Festival a roaring success. Staff at the Endeavour couldn't pull drinks fast enough to quench the thirsts of the many singers assembled there.

Reports from the Plough paint a sorry picture of empty spaces and forlorn faces. No doubt the Endeavour will continue to pick up Sam Smith's outcasts.

Someone mentioned the Bottom House as a possible venue for folk week. Any comments?
