Great Venue the small bar at the Friendship Rowing Club with some great views of the harbour and is very nice and cosy. Great choice Mick and Angi!

I know how every one feels about the Plough but I doubt if it will do any harm to drink and play elsewhere. It maybe that the loss of earnings which during Folk Week will be enough to convince the powers that be to re instate Live Music in all Sam Smiths pubs.

Oh and they might put back the telly and the Juke box while they are at it. Lots of the regulars are upset about the loss of on tap entertainment. I'm sorry about this turn of events I have always appreciated Sam Smiths doing their own thing. Which in the past in Whitby has given a warm welcome and provided a great service to its local community.

The Whitby Folk Club moves on to a new venue that has lots of possibilities! I will be pleased to give it my support and I would like to take the opportunity of thanking the Friendship Rowing Clubs members and the committee for providing one of my favourite Folk Clubs with such a great Venue. I have always been made welcome as a guest at the Friendship and I can tell you that the Friendship certainly lives up to its name. THANK YOU
