The inclusion of the now traditional (at least 20 years) 'Bob till you Drop' on the Wednesday night only adds to that variety and diversity.

For information

I researched this as part of last week's programme ("Thank Goodness It's Folk" on Sheffield Live) )on the Whitby Folk Festival. It started (I was reliably informed) in 1985. Searched high and low for a copy of the Shagpile CD recorded live at Whitby in 1995. Thanks to Ron Day I played Dave singing "Money Honey". And damned good it was too.
