Mr Guest I agree totally with Raggytash
I raised the issue a couple of weeks ago about the web site with a member of the new organisation and understand what you are trying to say the web site can be slightly misleading.The Whitby festival has been run for many years by a group of people headed up by Malcolm, seeing he has retired some of his team has quite naturaly gone with him. Therefore people are in new roles facing new and old challenges and nothing is going to be the same, I believe there is a meeting shortly and some of the issues wil be sorted, I am sure. You say that you normally buy tickets for Xmas presents well go ahead and do it, if it all falls through which I am sure it will not, I am sure you will get your money back for a summer treat. I know that there is at least one intresting idea to see, this has been tested and worked well in a field not a covered venue so for that alone,I think you will not be dissapointed. Please rember the people doing the organising have day jobs as well, love folk music enough to take on a monumental challenge want this to suceed and do have feelings
