Thread Name: Whitby Folk Week 2007!/How'd it go?
Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week 2007!/How's it doing?
With over 600 events, with all the will in the world it's difficult to get to more than 35 in a week.
What we did manage and enjoyed thoroughly were Mike Waterson & Louis Killen, for all the reasons mentioned before, and isn't it amazing how many songs MW has actually written!; the Nortumbrian Ceilidh, especially 422, and those young clog and rapper dancers who were immaculate. Con O'Driscoll (is that haow you spell it?) and his remarkable songsm especilally the lament for his dog's b****cks, it's amazing how many different rhymes and euphemisms he squeezed out of one (two?) subject.
And the ABBA ceilidh!!!

Sorry we missed you Giok, Emma and Severn, we must have been in the same vicinity together at some point.

We missed the finale this year as we had an elsewhere first thing thing the next morning 200 miles west, but we did get there in time to see the tremendous Michael Marra for the first time when we got there.

Here's to next year
