I am endeavouring to put together a database of all events listings for Whitby Folk Festival / Whitby Folk Week.
The festivals I was involved in (1982-2006 inclusive) I already have just completed and am happy to share.
I am hopeful that the subsequent years will be easily digitally available but if not I have copies of the programmes.
The festival was started by Tony Foxworthy in 1966 and I am looking for event details for the years 1966-1972, 1974, 1976 & 1978.
The library at Cecil Sharp House have supplied me with photos of the events sections of a couple of years which I did not have. I actually have more years than they do and will be ensuring they get copies of whatever else I either have or can unearth.
I should have started this about twenty years ago but I was rather busy at the time!

Hi Dick
I have come across a fair number of events you and Sue were performers at whilst I was putting the prior to 1982 stuff together and of coure you were with us during my tenure.
Would you like copies of the ones I have?
I can put them in a report doc as an attachment to your email.

You and Sue played for our scratch border Morris side in the early 80s, Dick. I'm sure you had a one row melodeon and Sue played oboe. Or did I imagine that?
