Some of the sessions just about everybody there has a performer's ticket or has bought a ticket. Thinking about the ones in the Rowing Club. Those in pub bars like the Ship which is not a festival venue do not and shouldn't need to contribute to the festival. The pub owners are musicians and many of the musicians in there are personal friends. You'll be charging Derek and Dorothy next for having a shop in Whitby. I know, Mick Haywood should pay double rent during festival week!
