Sometimes, the onus is on us to find out about things ... especially if we would like to go to them and know they are on ...

Folkiedave - do you only go to stuff which is aimed specifically at folkies? Having events such as this, which isn't aimed at folkies directly, but at the general public, is a great way of introducing people, who wouldn't normally go to stuff that IS directly aimed at folkies, to some wonderful music. It is a Seafest - it's not a folk festival as such - meant to be broader than that - but that doesn't mean it doesn't have some brilliant entertainment of the kind which would appeal to 'folkies'. In order to get funding from local authorities, events must have a broad appeal. This event is about celebrating the heritage of Scarborough - it is also a great opportunity to bring into that celebration some fantastic performers of maritime music. Richard is doing what he can to do that.
