Fair point Pete. When it was made clear to me that the festival could not be run at Staithes I sent an email to the festival mailing list which started............ Saddly it is no longer possable to run the 5 day music festival at Staithes ............the Good news is we have found a venue at Roxby ,just two miles inland. The fox Inn has a camping field next to the pub etc.
I thought that was enough explanation as punters are not interested in why some thing is no longer working, just need to know what is working
With hind site I should have started all correspondence with those setances.I have gone beyond the call of duty trying to keep the Staithes pub open but the new management made it impossable. You can throw a lifebelt to a drowning man(pub)If he chooses to swim away from the life belt there is not much you can do about it.
If you look at the Staithes fest on mudcat you will see that there was no fsetival. I belive the dates were advertised just to undermine Roxby.
The details of the problems are not for this site.....dirty linen etc.
If you knew what had gone on i am sure you would agree i had no alternative other than find a new venue. If you want the details i will go through it with you when we next meet.
As for the Vin Session i did not mention Thursday. What it says is a festival Launch on TUESDAY 24th. There were enough early arrivals to fill the room and have a good session which you could have joined in.
Monday was more of a social with Vin.If you had been there it would probably have taken off even more.
Cheers Tony
