You may not be malcom.
Graham Binless ran the festival on behalf of EFDSS, It was run well , i was booked there many times, it was very enjoyable, i always got paid and had a good time.
I played there a few times for Malcolm, it was run well.
This year I am playing at Saltburn,
I have not played at Whitby for many years,it is however a very good place to have a festival and I have heard good reports
