This is the last year of the Blessed Malcolm Storey at Whitby so who knows what we'll get in future years. But Malcolm's policy has proved very successful with the Whitby regulars so I for one wouldn't anticipate any great changes for future years. I'm a great fan of rock/world/blues but not a great concert attender. And 80 squids for a weekend would be a bit to much for me to consider so the World Music thing (which has been running for several years now) will have to manage without me.

I think a great thing about Whitby is that we meet all our friends there. For many of us 'Oop North' is the first date in our diaries every year, so it's fairly self-perpetuating. And many of the people we see every year don't do the full week either.
