Definitely going to try to get to moor & coast this year. Hell, it's almost on my doorstep. Mr Fox? I presume that's the morris team and not Bob Pegg dragged down from the highlands - which would be nice.

never been before whars the campsite like?

The opening post link takes you to the festival website, there is a link there to multimap for the campsite at the Community College, but it doesn't leap out at you. If you click here you will get to it.

Campsite is a school playing field, pretty flat & secure with school facilities used for washing etc. No electric hookups. It seems to be very popular each year, though naturally spring camping near the North Yorkshire coast has its risks.

Hello there, Ime a Whitbyite and many folk-goers will know me, am just about to venture into the B&B business, and am hoping to be up and running before too long, situated on Stakesby Road the little guest house will be called "Assam House" and as of tomorow 29th Feb the guest house should be on the "I know yorkshire" website.

The flat Ime moving out of on the West Cliff will also be up for grabs if anyone wants to do self catering - close to Pannet Guest House ( many people will know Alan from the Pannet )

I hope I dont get into trouble for advertising ( is it allowed ? )

My credentials: a friend of Malcolm Storey ( that should do it ), I know many people who attend both festivals, made a lot of friends over the years.

Yes should have the normal 4 or 5 real ales on at the Community College... all from Yorkshire... In town the Station and the Endeavour pubs all have a good selection of real ales...

It's a treat..

Pleased that the Coliseum is to be a venue this year, the acoustics are wonderful and the line up for the two afternoon concerts are great ............... pity I have to work it doesn't half detract from enjoyment of the concerts!!

If you haven't had enough by Sunday, nip down the coast to Sewerby Hall just North of Bridlington and finish off with the last bit of the Foaotmad free Old Time picking weekend. There'll be a good session in the Ship Inn on Sunday night.

"Never been but heard a lot about Whitby, is it any good as a festival venue? What makes it so special? "

The answer to this question would require a book the size of War and Peace; just go there and experience it for yourself this coming August, or for a mini version - the end of this month

The Foaotmad event has always knocked heads with Moor and Coast being on the same weekend and fairly adjacent. Some people do try to get a bit of each.

I only mentioned Sewerby because the Moor and Coast website has it ending on Sunday, while Sewerby goes on into Monday. Sorry I upset you, Guest Blackbeard.

Whitby has a rich and varied history, is still in small part a working fishing port, has many attractions for tourists and its location is second to none, nestled in a steep valley heading out to sea and surrounded by heather covered moors. Nearby are numerous tiny villages which again have a rich seafaring history, fishing, smuggling, ghosts and ghoullies. Come and see for yourself.
In particular I'd recommend the lunchtime concert at the Coliseum which is next to the bus station

Saturday line-up                   MC Ken Hall
Tina Taylor
George Papaveris
Flossie
Cloud Street

Sunday line-up                     MC Jim McDonald
Annapurna Indian Dance
Whitby Community Choir
Workshy Profits
Tina Taylor
Hall Brothers

Wish I could be there. Oh well, perhaps I'll make a small trip up to Whitby when I have a few days off this September. I'll miss the music but I'm sure there's lots to do when one isn't rushing off to a stage somewhere.

Have fun folks. Cheers, Dan

OK enough about my singing - here's the serious bit (for me). As most of you know, I organise the stewards for Moor & Coast & have just had a couple of stewards drop out. If anyone's interested in stewarding, could you PM me please? Duties total around 8 hours over the weekend, you get a free weekend/camping ticket & you might get a present as well! How can you refuse??
Thanks
