02 Dec 24 - 12:33 PM (#4212708) Subject: Whitby Folk Festival Programmess From: GUEST,Malcolm Storey 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! |

Would you like copies of the ones I have? I can put them in a report doc as an attachment to your email. |
