Well, that's Whitby over for another year - I had a great time, met many wonderful musicians and singers. People are always so friendly, I love chatting to them, after or before the gigs, or on the streets, shops,etc.
Roll on next year, and I hope I get invited back. (again):)

Programme on BBC Radio 2 on Wednesday about Whitby Folk Week, first time they've ever acknowledged it that I can remember.

Mark finds Northumbrian concertina legend Alistair Anderson among the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Bram Stoker had Dracula come ashore in his 1897 novel.

Must have been a high tide.

Had a crackin' time. I hadn't been for years but after getting off me arse this year, it can go back to being a regular event again. Bumped into people I hadn't seen since the '80s. Seems I'm the only one who still looks young and good looking, but hey ho....

Bloke in Groucho, I had a good time too but guess you didn't see me as I also still look young and are good looking!!!!!!!!!Like you, missed for a few years after attending my first in 1971-ish?? Didn't go specifically for it but was camping in the town that week - seem to think it coincided with the dreaded O level results being published. Apart from the obvious attractions of the music and the people, the place is so relaxed - great to go back. Roll on next year!!
