I stand corrected Tattie although I was thinking of the people who share the pleasure of the music we primarily enjoy.
Most fair size towns have lots of interest groups that put on events for the like minded and that is great.
Whitby and the area has had many lasting events that we would probably enjoy and which I have always acknowledged and encouraged.
It has also had some super short term and one off events over the years.
The area did have a particularly ill famed none-off non-event purporting to further our cause.

You have an interesting memory bucket!
Chas was not banned from the festival because he was never part of it!
He was however taken to task extremely forcefully for riding round the town with a loudspeaker slagging off a local business and claiming to speak for Whitby Folk Week! Fact!!
All will be revealed in my upcoming best selling memoires!!!
