Guest, I am not a troll. I am a keen performer, mostly amateur but with a few paid bookings (at Saltburn Folk Festival and Whitby Folk Week). Items thrown into the skip include small percussion instruments, music tutors, songbooks and music CDs - plus an assortment of storytelling-related resources. Howard, thank you for the advice. I intend listing items that are missing and I will be contacting the Citizens Advice Bureau during the week. Oh, naming and shaming - Middlesbrough Coumcil. I was able to have another foray into the skip this morning and retrieved further items - but some are still missing that I suspect are there. I now estimate that over a thousand pounds worth of my personal belongings had wrongly been thrown into the skip.
