Mo the Caller,
Tides vary according to the strength of gravitational pull of the moon, if the moon is full it has a greater pull than when it is a crescent, I do not pretend to understand the vagaries of the science however, I doubt if many do. The rise and fall varies with the moons fullness and the time of the tide also varies each day being a slightly longer (or shorter) time between high and low tides. It is possible to preict with a fair degree of accuracy the height of the tide for years in advance, for instance on September 20 2015 the tide is predicted to be 6.4 metres, the highest tide in whitby for some 20 years or so.

In reply to 'Liberty Boy' the last time Graham Moore was booked at WFW was 2006. Graham has an informative website with contact details. It would be great to see him back at the festival.

I don't understand that, Guest. I thought tides always moved by the same amount. But the difference between Sun 22nd & Mon 23rd is only 37min, while between Fri 6th & Sat 7 is 1hr 13min.

I heard the most bizarre session request ever.

The session at the Station Inn was hosted by a student band from Sheffield (very nice people and fine players, but over-arranged settings for that venue - it would have been more effective to dump the arrangements and play the tunes and songs straight, which they were perfectly capable of doing). They mostly did Irish stuff with a bit of Scottish thrown in.

Near the end of one evening, after listening for at least an hour, a young bearded guy asked "could you play any Crass?". He appeared to be perfectly serious. Most of the band wasn't even born when Crass last performed, and I doubt if he was either. He spent some time explaining who Crass were. We should have asked him to sing some so we could fake it.

(If any of the band are reading this, I was the guy with the red picnic stool full of assorted instruments).

Long time lurker here, but the first time posting with my own cookie.

I very much enjoyed the 3 nights spent with Mo & Joe at the Rifle Club (thanks), and especially George Garside's sessions at the Middle Earth (shame there were only 2 though), along with Mary & Anahata's session in the Con Club.

The highlight has to be the couple of hours spent in the Elsinore with the gathered hordes from the melodeon.net forum. Someone said they counted 18 box players, all giving it heavy welly. melodeon-anorak heaven!

The rumours fly as to the reasons for the clash. I heard a new one this year.
It was alleged that a lady councillor [Conservative of course!], who doesn't like Folk Week, vetoed attempts to move the regatta dates, so they didn't clash.
Is this total crap, Labour propaganda, or the gospel truth?
I leave that decision to others.

I'll try that again

Date      High Tide      Height Date       High Tide   Height
Friday 6    13.19       4.4m    Friday 20    14.06    4.3m         
Saturday 7 14.32       4.7m    Saturday 21 15.05    4.5m
Sunday 8    15.32       5.0m    Sunday 22    15.50   4.7m         
Monday 9    16.22       5.3m    Monday 23    16.27 4.9m            

As you can see the maximum difference in the times of the high tide over the 4 days of racing is 47 minutes, the minimum is 5 minutes, the maximum difference in the actual height of the tide is 400mm. Now I am not a rower and there may be other considerations that I am not aware of, however I do hear every time there is a clash between regatta and folk week that it is the tides that determine when the regatta is held, on the above information I put my case, people may have more knowledge than I do and I would like to be made aware of considerations if they have an influence on determining regatta.

Valmai, I have deleted my cookie put this as I wish in this instance to submit as a guest. As you suggest the regatta is determined by the tide, if however the regatta had been held a fortnight earlier as is often the case (13/14/15 August in 2011, 10/11/12 August 2013, 9/10/11 August 2014 .... you get the picture) the difference in the tides would have been as follows (All times GMT)

Fantastic. The atmosphere was tremendous. It's a fact that you need to get to many venues half an hour before your chosen event starts, but that's because the venues are all on a human scale - no huge stages with masses of amplification.

I spent most of my time in the Con Club with visits to the Rifle Club, the Rugby Club, the Spa, the Met and the Stakesby. The choice of beers was particularly good in the Rifle Club and I thought beer everywhere was on average cheaper than the £2.70 a pint I'm accustomed to paying at home in Lewes.

I've never had better fish & chips than at the Silver Street Fisheries. Alexander's were also pretty good and you can always sit down inside. There were cheap and cheerful filled rolls at the Festival cafe and the Con Club (£2.50-ish).

I believe that the date of the regatta is determined by the tide, so there isn't scope for moving it away from the Festival weekend when the two coincide unless someone is able to open negotiations with whoever is responsible for the phases of the moon. This has the administrative nuisance that human sacrifice might be required, but if anyone would like to compile a list of candidates now is a good time to start.

My first trip to Whitby Festival since 1968, Christine's first visit ever. We were concerned that we would have to "break" into the circle. This was not the case, every one was very welcoming. The Stewards on the official camp site were outstandingly helpful. The movements between venues were a problem (oh those hills) especially as most of the official concert type events were at times over subscribed and it seemed you had to be at the venue at least 1 hour before the programmed start. Well done also to the steward at the Met who managed to squeeze us in the Northumberland evening but the singers should have used the P.A. I must admit we were expecting a non dancing ceiligh as is the Mart at Rothbury. Difficult to single out outstanding performers as 90% of the guests were well up to the mark. The highlights for me were, Songs of the Western States, Miners Strike concert and the Mining Songs presented by Jonny and Christine (as you would expect from me), Pete Coes Strings workshop (inspiring) and Pete's CD Launch. Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher presented a blistering set in the last concert at the Met. The boat trip to Staiths on Tuesday afternoon was great fun especially when we got the pub and the locals told us we should not sing as the pub did not have a music licence, the land lord did not seem to mind and supplied free chips (as if we hadn't had enough already). The whole festival was like an iced bun, naughty but nice and the cherry on the top of the bun (for me) was singing Keep Your Feet Still at the music session in the Con Club (cheap beer) with Jonny backing me. I guess that's my 5 mins of fame, we will return. Brian

As it was I gave up my time to hear others, with the exception of the Friday Yorkshire concert where some were " a bit tired" and John Greaves recovering from an operation

The traditional singers have always been a feature, and so shgould continue augmented by some newer traditionalist, like John Conolly

There are some excellent singers worthy of being included in the guest list, Geoff Lawes, Hissyfit, Wendy Arrowsmith, Anna Shannon (was she there?)

Loved Bert Draycott as I said, funny men are at a premium!

We enjoyed it, but behind the scenes there were a few organisational disconnections. E.g. many changes of programme, some of which weren't reported in the Wailer. We were put into the late night concert on Tuesday at short notice, but immediately before the concert, the MC didn't even know about this change - fortunately we know him and he was able to give us an informed introduction.

We found a workshop had been cancelled but the stewards hadn't been told, so the punters waited an hour for the leader to turn up...

Also none of the booked guests seem to have been sent any kind of working timetable in advance - this would have enabled some of the problems to have been sorted out so the printed programme would have been more accurate.

From the audience's point of view, all this doesn't seem to have mattered too much.

Had a great time hoofing at all the ceilidhs in the Spa and this year managed to get a full set of 'notches' in my season ticket for attendance. I did Molly and Welsh dance workshops, managed to see Martyn Wyndham-Read a few times and saw Stan Graham for the first time. Got new CDs from both, but haven't been near a cd player yet, so haven't been able to listen to them yet. I watched loads of morris displays around town. I was terribly disappointed that there wasn't any border morris workshops this year, though.

Sadly, I didn't have time to attend the mudgather, so the only catters I met or bumped into were Giok, Bill Sables and Noreen. Would have liked to meet Hils again and say hi to Max, but it weren't to be.

Weatherwise, it's the best Whitby festival I've been to, just the one day of rotten weather.

I have quite a lot of video recorded which will go online once I get it sorted, but it'll be a while as I'll be going away again next weekend for a dance weekend in Denmark.

Best wishes,
Bente

I agree with Jack about the Wailer. Since the office doesn't open till the workshops have started there just isn't time to get one without missing more than you already miss by running between venues. Please send them round to all the stewards, someone.

For me, every year has some constant threads and old favourites, and a 'try something new' which flavours the week.

The dances and dance workshops have always been the backbone of the festival.
One year was Peter Mayes playing for dancing (learning tunes slowly from 'Join the Band'), and the year after we did it with real live Hobby Horse Club dancers. Once it was Jane Ball's folk Orchestra. Once a series of harmony workshops.
Then after a break of 20 years we came back and found George Garside's slow sessions. Now after a couple more years of trying to fit in the varied sessions as well as the dancing I was back to May Cheadle's REALLY SLOW session, with a new instrument, and found I was coping better by the end of the week than at the start.
And this year we got to the Saturday singing in the Endeavour, we've never tried to go to one before as we thought we wouldn't get in if we'd run over after an 11.30-12.50 workshop in the Spa, but on Sat it kicked our festival off nicely.
And we always manage to fit in one or two concerts.

We'll be back, already booked the flat and the tickets.

I sadly missed my favourite venue - the Museum Lecture room (and the Museum Cafe, purveyor of superb home made cakes, scones, quiche etc) ... the Coliseum is no subsititute (and the bleacher seating legroom there is very very poor). It was good to see old friends again, spend too much time nattering too!!

I'm just back. Had a good time and will most likely be back next year. Couldn't do quite as much as we'd planned since Marion's recovering from a stroke - she gets tired very easily, so I had to get her back to the flat when that happened, and do more domestic stuff than intended. Still, we wouldn't have been anywhere else.

Highlights: meeting up with Max (who is a wonderfully laid-back person to share a house with) and the two events I went to that Johnny Handle was involved in:

- a session on mining songs, with what for me was the most moving song of the week, an unaccompanied song about what mining does to your body and spirit, written and sung by a man called Paddy in a purple shirt with an expressive bass voice - I don't know who Paddy was but I hope to hear from him again.

- an English tunes session, which went well beyond simply leading tune sets to give ideas about musical stagecraft.

Anahata's English tune session was also a great example in how to communicate to players without saying a word. He can make his instrument do the talking just by hitting accents in the right places.

Nice hearing so much English music for a change. It gradually came through to me that one distinctive thing about it is that it scales up. Sessions of similar size doing Irish music are usually a mess (as exemplified by every pub doing it that I looked into that week), and for Scottish or Shetland music they can sound rather dogged with everybody trying to do exactly the same thing (think of strathspey and reel societies). But for English music, the very strong beat allows for a wider variety of instruments to contribute in a wider variety of ways. It can use an orchestral-sized group without sounding in the least like a classical orchestra.

We figured that our season tickets just about broke even. The only real advantage was getting ahead of the on-the-spot buyers for sold-out events.

Of which there were too many. Not sure what they can do about it. I hate queueing so we may just get on-the-spot tickets next year and accept that we may not get in to the most popular events.

Some things I didn't expect:

- lots of French music. (Would have helped if the people running the European music had said that that was what they were overwhelmingly interested in - I could have boned up on some).

- lots of unusual instruments. I didn't expect to be in a lineup featuring my stuff (odd enough), phonofiddle, trombone, and contrabass concertina (like a large black hatbox enclosing an angry bonsaied hippo).

- zillions of spoons (thanks to Jeff Warner's workshop, I think) and hardly any bodhrans (maybe they stayed in the Irish session pubs all week).

- one of the chippies was crap. Looked great until you actually got the food (mushy cod and chips that tasted like they'd been reheated). On the other hand the Greedy Pig in Flowergate is wonderful.

- Dracula tat everywhere.

- the festival office is in a lousy location. Parking was all full up around there, and if you were coming by train it was a huge grunt up the hill. It would help if the Wailer was distributed to at least one point near sea level (the tourist information office?).

- I don't think I have ever been anywhere where there have been so many disabled people - negotiating massed crutches in a pub session was a new experience. I can't imagine why all those people with mobility problems pick such a disabled-unfriendly place to visit, but if they have any ideas about how to make it easier (short of bulldozing the hills flat) maybe they should contribute them.

- hardly any drunks. In a comparable Scottish event, there would be lubricated locals and stocious folkies littering the whole town. The only drunk folkies I saw were Scottish people I knew from back home or country & western types.

- the cheapest beer in town is at a place I'd never have thought of. Is that how the Tories recruit new members?

- it was all far friendlier than I'd thought it would be.

With one exception. Some of the people at the two Mudgather events were unwilling to recognize the existence of anybody they didn't know already. Hey, when somebody walks into a gathering and obviously knows Dick, Susan and Max, it's rather likely they're a Mudcatter, isn't it? And maybe might want to be asked when the singaround turn comes round, or when you're compiling a list of who's there?
