Not having visited myself, I have recently gained the impression from recent threads that the Whitby festval pubs are full, with one exception of guitar bashing folk, thrashing out Dubliner's songs and that this is a problem.

I am reminded of a old TV sketch where World War 2 veterans from opposite met up on holiday and after having a few problems, decide that they all 'hated the Swiss' - for being, 'bloody neutrals'.

Is it OK then for folkies to decide that these 'Wild Rovers' and 'Leavers of Liverpool' are now fair game?
