Now I'm worried. But not that surprised. Due to what is referred to locally as Whitby Time. The worry is that Commander Crab is one of Whitby's Coast Guards Let me assure you that Commander Crabs Response time is usually slightly quicker!

Folk week was as always a great week, THANKYOU MALCOLM for making and keeping this the best festival in the country.

I know the festival is well spread but that is how the town is so we have to live with it, and sadly cars did not really exist when it grew up so parking is a problem at any time in the summer, I have to use mine a lot to get into town as it is nearly 2 miles from my little flat to the town center,

I would like to take the chance to thank all the campsite stewards for doing a great job this year, and pulling out the stops when I could not do some things cos I got an infection in my hands fixing the toilets on campsite, but these things are to be done.

I had a great week and hope things will not change too much, we often forget what a rich tradition we have in these little islands we call home

Good luck to the new commitee

Cheers B t'B

Dick & Ray, if you are refering to my thread above (29thAug)? I am not suggesting 'changing' Whitby Fest, I am simply suggesting that it be returned to what it was a couple of years ago.

Just a thought-
It's been suggested that Whitby should incorporate more modern, or "less-Trad" artists. I'd like to voice a loud disagreement.

Whitby is almost completely alone in being, essentially, an all-Trad festival. There are lots of places to hear more modern music; adding to the Whitby line-up would only dilute its unique appeal. IMO the best festivals are those that stick closest to a theme or idea or ideal--"something for everyone" generally translates into "not enough anything for anyone".

Themed festivals (like Mystic's Sea Music Festival) have been historically most successful when they stuck to their guns.

I had a great time as always, sad that the Festival won't be the same without Mr Storey, but hopeful for good things in the hands of an experienced team - a chance to maintain the traditional song focus that seems to disappear from the rest of the festival world. It was great to get into theTap and Spile for one evening session, even if my view of proceedings was mostly hidden by the previously mentioned large person! Still, he didn't spoil the great singing! Great to meet some Catters at the harmony workshops, sorry you coldn't make it Mo, maybe next year...
And I've now got a badge!!!

A friend asked why is all the news bad news?

I would like to thank Malcolm Storey for taking up the reins 25 years ago following on I believe from Graham Binless of the EFDSS

Not everyone liked his methods(Malcolm) but you knew where you were and his strict adherance to the Traditional singers is to be applauded.
Have a good retirement Malcolm you did well mate!

An excellent team of helpers of all ilks have been vital in ensuring the smooth flow over the years and of course the guests

I also would like to make special thanks to Judy Knight, the Tap and Spile and Peter and Cheree Fleming 'the Management' for taking my hoiday money I enjoyed it but will never recover!!

Judy wasnt too well but always comes up trumps, buy her an eggcup somebody!


The singing room has seen once again and evidenced above some of the finest largely unaccompanied voices in Britain.
Now little Ron (whistling Ronnie) singing Scottish songs with his native North East accent/dialect is nearly as bad as Sid Calderbank with his Lancashire accent

Nice to hear Kitty, Pat and Lynne, Mike, Murph and Edna (sorry i missed you) Mitch, Carol et al[whoops forgot Jimmy and Ken]

All the Barnsley Fc (virtually) were in the No Smoke room and enjoyed it immensely

ps I have changed ny Email address to stop the begging letter (Thousands or More !)(joking) but if you need to contact me please pm and I will tell you new details
Time for a shower
Heres to a succesful 2007

and Dave (forget his surname) with his greyhound and similar songs was a treat

I have been reliably informed that the crab sandwiches in the endeavour are fresh.The landlord goes out religiously every evening and does his best to catch the very crabs that are available, in sandwich form, behind the bar.And he's not a chef.None of that poncy arty farty malarky for him.He's a COOK,and thats why they are not served on a bed of cress.

I think jOhn from Hull was indulging in the English vice of irony (shame on you, jfh!) and referring back to an earlier post from "guest, call me a snob, but", whinging about the oicks in Whitby who are just there for the seaside holiday and get in the way of folkies looking for a car parking space.
