Subject: RE: Folk in Whitby From: Mo the caller Date: 26 Aug 14 - 11:52 AM There seems to be a lot of Folk activity in Whitby. Is that because of the festival, or v.v.? |

Subject: RE: Folk in Whitby From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 26 Aug 14 - 12:28 PM Hi Mo, No it's where old folkies come to die! I'm sure the existence of the festival has something to do with a number of folkies moving here over the years but it is a good place to live away, for the most part, from the troubles of the inner cities. Yes we do have our own "issues" to deal with like folkies who take over the town during folk week but by and large they're not insurmountable!! All in all it's a good place to live. The north sea on one side and the moors on the other make a very convivial location as I'm sure you and many other people realise. The Tuesday sessions in the Elsinore are great and the Wednesday sessions in the Fleece will surely catch up given a few weeks. |

Subject: RE: Folk in Whitby From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 13 Sep 14 - 04:02 AM It is, but people must like diddly diddly. There might be one or two songs in a long session, great musicians for the most part though. |

Subject: RE: Folk in Whitby From: Mo the caller Date: 18 Sep 14 - 03:33 PM It's a fairly descriptive name for fast jigs. |

Subject: RE: Folk in Whitby From: GUEST Date: 18 Sep 14 - 03:41 PM Yes, if one can lilt in correct time!!???A jig , reel, hornpipe etc are surely played in the time suitable for a decent dancer, the timing and dancer are a unit. |

Subject: RE: Folk in Whitby From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 18 Sep 14 - 07:06 PM Roisin, I had no intention to offend but how does ones describe the music. There are not just jigs, reels and hornpipes, there is a wonderful array of tunes, far beyond my comprehension. If that is your particular bent it is a superb afternoon. As I said there are some wonderful musicians attend, my individual attention span for that style of music lasts for between 30 and 40 minutes. It was not meant as a criticism. |
