Thread Name: How did you find Whitby folk week
Subject: RE: How did you find Whitby folk week
Whitby was, as I've found it to be for the six times I've been able to attend, wondrous. Fine music everywhere, separated by steep hills.
Parking this year was sparse to non-existent, so that my aging knees
restricted our choice of venues--there's not much time allowed between events-- and event organization seemed a bit more haphazard than it had in past years, but the music and the people were grand.
Unlike many Mudcatters, Susan and I have chosen to focus on planned events, rather than fringe activities. There was too much good music for us to skip at the events, and pubs tend to get too crowded for my taste. But I've come to know so may Whitby regulars that going seems to be like coming home.
I wish we could make it every year. As it is, we've already pencilled 2012 on our calendar.
