Thread Name: Whitby Folk Club moving to Thursdays?
Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Club moving to Thursdays?
The Whitby Folk Club did not repeat its Grand Turk Folk Club Night last year. The moved up from the intimate downstairs bar to the Main Friendship Concert Room and had a charity fund raising for the RNLI. It was a great night and it was packed out Kitty. I can't remember just how much was raised but it was a lot of money. Typically of Mick and Angie they did not, as is there way, go in for a lot of Publicity about the Clubs Good deed.
As you probably know yourself Kitty the time and effort it takes to keep a Folk Club going. Thanks should be given to Mick and Angie for keeping the Whitby Folk Club going all through year rain or shine.
I must remember to ask Mick when he ran his first Folk Club. Angie however being much much younger than Mick will not be able to claim as many years as Mick but my guess over twenty years. As for Liam Haywood he has been attending The Whitby Folk Club all his life.
Who knows what Mick, Angie and Liam will come up with for this years Folk Week they certainly have had a quite a few brilliant ones over the years.
