13 Aug 07 - 06:33 AM (#2124620) Subject: Whitby Folk Week From: brassy sharman What are the best bits of WFW that should not be missed, best concert venue,pub,dance, concert,food,workshop etc with so much to do and such a wide distance from venue to venue planning what to do is always a headache. I have been through my programme a "must see" for me is Mike Waterson and Lois Killen . Any other thoughts? |

17 Aug 07 - 06:09 AM (#2127737) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week From: Betsy To Banjiman, - you beat me to it - I was searching for this thread to give you some tips of where to go. For those who don't know - his wife Wendy Arrowsmith won the songwriters competition at Saltburn. I honestly have never met Wendy or Paul before, but if you get chance (M.C.'s) to put her on your concert / singaround - don't think twice. She's like a breath of fresh air . Wonderful voice and performer. Cheers Betsy. |

19 Aug 07 - 04:17 PM (#2129267) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week From: Banjiman Just a quick note for others for future reference. We phoned John the organiser of the Hiring Fair on Friday and he said that if we turned up today and one of the booked acts failed to show we could take a slot. We did, two of the acts didn't and we got a slot. Wendy will also try and get over to a couple of singarounds at The Station or Endeavour during the week (some of us have to work though......) Thanks for the above advice Paul |

It wasn't our ruling folks - it was the only way we were allowed to camp there! |

30 Aug 07 - 10:02 AM (#2136861) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week From: GUEST Best thing at Whitby? Johnny Handle interviewing Louis Killen. They only got as far as 1954 and Louis is not even aware that what he is singing is folk music yet. I think its a conspiracy to ensure that they get booked for at least the next 2 years 2008 Louis Killen and the folk scene. 2009 Louis Killen in America. Ken Hall |

30 Aug 07 - 04:38 PM (#2137076) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week From: Herga Kitty Ken - I thought that Johnny and Louis made it to 1956 or 7 (it was certainly after Louis had finished his apprenticeship as a cabinet maker and returned from Oxford's Catholic Worker's College, because we were left in absolutely no doubt about that by JH)! Absolute magic - Derek Schofield's interview with Vic and Viv Legg the previous Sunday was a treat, too. Kitty |

Hopefully will have new songs when I come next year. Roll on Whitby 2008!!! |
