Hiya,
       Don't forget it's the Robin Hood's Bay Folk weekend this coming weekend, it's free, just turn up and sing and/or play your instruments in the 3 pubs in the village. the forcast isn't too good but don't worry about that, it'll be dry and warm inside.

A really good weekend in a lovely place.

The programme can be found here, the excellent host website with lots of accomodation and other details.

We went two years ago and are coming again this year.

Did I mention the excellent fish and chips...
...and real ale

I shall miss Saturday this year as I have something else on. Pity, it's a good weekend. Might see if I can manage Sunday.

About 25 years ago I went to a folk club down by the harbour which had a singaround in a tiny room. Wonderful evening. I remember a quiet guy with a beautiful voice singing Grey Funnel Line. Great campsite, beer, fish n' chips, Robin Hood's Bay has it made!

Dont go in the Grosvenor.The bar staff are rude, argumentative and dis-respectful of their customers.They welcome folkies as a rule, but not when they've already taken a fortune over the bar from the football.We were told that we had to drink in silence.

Aye Dozy Rozy was right, the only downer on an otherwise good weekend. Start getting ready for Dent now.

A great weekend.

The standard and breadth of the contributors - in particular to Friday night's singaround - was excellent. Many thanks to all concerned.

Muppett - liked your health service song on Sunday lunchtime - still smiling whne I think about it!
