My first Whitby. Thoroughly enjoyed a very busy week! We focussed on traditional song, with Doc Rowe and a few morning lectures thrown in. Enjoyed Jim & Graeme at the lunchtime singarounds in the Endeavour; it's probably unfair to single anyone out though, because everything seemed to be a highlight, and only rarely did food become an issue ;)

The main difference between this and other festivals I've been to was that Whitby's not about "stars". I went to the folk week and got a week of folk. So I'm perfectly satisfied, and hope to be back again next year. Well done to all the organisers, stewards, and venues!
