Yesterday saw a dedication of a Memorial Bench on the cliffs close to the Whalebones to Tony Foxworthy who died last year. The event was well attended.
Tony was responsible for organising the very first Whitby Folk Festival as it then was back in 1966.
Doc Rowe and Jill Pidd were the doers who made sure this happened and full details of the Citation and the Memorial Plaque which will be erected in the Missions to Seamen - the first major venue for the embryonic festival - will appear on Doc's website.
The crowd funding for the event is still open and has not as yet met the full costs - donation details are also available on Doc's website.
Stump up and be jolly!!!
