Subject: whitby folk week
We plan to return to Whitby after 15 years or more.
What has changed, what should we try not to miss?
Is the SLOW SESSION on this year?

Twenty years ago our Whitby week was :-
Lots of dance (all sorts tried)
Lots of hill running (between workshops)
Singing the choruses in a few sing-arounds
Playing a few tunes with Peter Mayes and Jane Ball
Singing harmony with Bread & Roses
A few concerts (we were there when The Kippers started)

This time round we are beginning to play in sessions, still are mainly interested in dance, but probably wont go to many late-night ceilidhs. And we'll qualify for pensioners cheaap tickets
