I had heard that John was in charge of bookings, & I confess to being a little worried that he may have a bias.
I know Whitby has always had a lot of 'source' singers, and has always had a good balance of new & old, but I have felt in the last couple of years there have been a few omissions in the usual stalwarts, which has, in my opinion, upset the balance slightly.
I would like to see the balance restored by bringing back a few of the missing names (Steve Tilston, Pete Morton, Brian Peters etc),and adding others that didn't 'fit in' with the old regime. Such as Pete Coe, Jez Lowe. In other words a few more good 'club acts'.
Cheers
