Another brilliant festival as usual. What made it extra special for me this year was finding 'The Star' pub which is on a little street that runs passed the back of The Ship Inn, just back from the harbour on the opposite side from the Abbey. This pub is now run by John and his wife and very quickly became the place to be for the best singaround sessions in Whitby. Everyone was made to feel very welcome indeed and with all beers (including three real ales in tip-top condition!)priced at just £2.50 a pint you really couldn't go wrong. It will definately be my first port of call next year. Thank you John for doing such an excellent job as host and organiser and I hope your new venture goes from strength to strength, you deserve it.
I would encourage everyone to head for The Star on any visit to Whitby and I'm sure you won't be disappointed; it really is 'a star'!
