When did you take the festival on, Malcolm? 1981 I reckon I have been booked there since 1977, 6 Times.
It is of course every organisers right to decide on their own booking policy.
My policy at my festival is to book people on merit, so for example if I wanted to book Peggy Seeger, I would book her regardless of the fact that she was an American living in England, but as I said every organiser has a right to have their own policy, you managed to run Whitby successfully for 25 years, that was some achievement, I take my hat off to you, you did a good job and clearly have been a hard act to follow.
