hi again our sing at the Jolly sailors is so popular that some guest singers have even included it on their gig list on the web:
in years gone by we have aimed to be inclusive and a variety os playing and singing styles have ensured that there is always something different to listen to from trad through to bluegrass and country so get yourselves along each night after 8 pm where we look forward to meeting up with old friends and new cheers M

Everyone who wishes to brave the crush and heat in the front room of the tap gets to sing cos Lady A,Padge MCFAT and anyone else who might be trying to control the rabble make sure they do but if you want to get in you have to be patient its a good sing so gets very full - when the landlady puts restrictions on its usually because the c`rush in the room has got to such a state that you physically cant squeeze another body in whatever night it is!

The front room at the Tap and Spile gets VERY full but noone is excluded. However on the last evening (ie Friday) there are restrictions placed by the land lady and the front room is often a semi private party.

If I wasn't booked with Coblers Monday to run the Fleece Session Kitty I would as you have pointed out. Be a sure fire winner in the bad taste shirt competition. Should I enter it, for in the past, I have always let the amateur's Bad Taste Shirt wearers have a chance of winning by not doing so.

That said I will have a word with Mick Haywood and the rest of Coblers Monday to see if we can't organise a rival Bad Taste Underwear Competition in the Fleece Session and a Holy Sock Competition to be held on Sunday Lunchtime session naturally.
Love George

Thanks for the tips. Of course it'd be unreasonable to expect a purely English trad session. It's just that I've been to a few clubs where you get nothing but self-penned or Scots/Irish stuff. Nothing WRONG with that, I know!

From my pub crawl experience of Whitby - I mean my visits to singarounds - none of them do 'traditional English' all do a mixture and everyone is welcome. You might find more traditional stuff at Jo and Mo's singaround in the Plough of an evening b ut it wont be exclusively traditional - Endeavour is certainly a great mix of music of an evening- thats if you can get in! Similiarly with Tap and Spile and Plough Cant say about the Black Horse - never managed to get there at night!

Sorry guest cant be any more help

I'd just like to point out that Jim Mageean's singarounds have a maritime flavour, but aren't just shanties, except on Wednesday, when it's shanties and bad shirts day! Unlike the Fleece, which will probably have bad shirts every day?

Coblers Monday Whitby's Sea Shanty Group will be once again running the singer round in the Fleece Lunch Time every day during Folk Week. All welcome! There will be a collection's towards the cost of the Folk Week as this is a regular Festival Venue. There have been problems I believe at the Black Horse due to the Blue Meanies and the new Music Licensing Laws. The Endeavour will host the Jim Magean Shanty Sessions. The Plough will be packed out during Folk Week as usual. As the Jolly Sailors and the Plough are both Sam Smiths Pub's! I can't see the Jolly Sailors wanting to miss out I think they are both managed Houses. Look for the usual Folkies Made Welcome signs. Last but not least is the Tap n Spile I sure that there will be a bit of singing in there every day and Night.

I think you are probably right Raggytash, however I don't know that there are any specific English Trad only venues. Of course as you know Mr Tash some singers in the tap and spile sing some English Trad of course there's the little sessions in The Endeavour which contain some English Trad and some of the maritme songs in the appropriate sessions are also English Trad. So bottom line is most of the singarounds would contain some but not solely.

The singaround upstairs at the Plough is often in this vein, I'm possibly not the best person to ask as it is not a genre I follow, come on boys and girls let's help the Guest and show what nice people we are underneath when we've stopped biting

After Graeme Knights had his head shaved in the Endeavour last year (and the severing of Jim Mageean's pigtail the year before) I think Taffy Thomas has promised to lose his beard in aid of the lifeboat this year (anyone else who was at Kathy's beach birthday BBQ last year please corroborate!).

Alan, was that quote from this:

Let other folk make money faster
In the air of dark-roomed towns,
I don't dread a peevish master;
Though no man do heed my frowns,
I be free to go abroad,
Or take again my homeward road
To where, for me, the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea.
