Whitby now has a Tuesday session too, at the First In, Last Out. There is also a good club at Mickleby (just a few of miles away) on Saturdays.

Add three weekends of folk activites per year to the week-long festival in August and you will see why so many folkies know the town well.

Hester: If you PM me a couple of weeks ahead I'll try & point you towards any one-off events that might suit.

Raggytash is right, Saturday was a good one.
