I’m afraid I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to snow and ice on the roads and as a consequence I missed opportunities to hear Martin Wyndham- Read at both Robin Hood’s Bay and Mickleby. I gather Robin Hood’s Bay Folk Night was quite hilarious as Vin Garbutt turned up unexpectedly.

Anyway, managed to make the Station at Whitby on Sunday night on Shank’s pony. A good night with lots of people from all over, London, Lancashire, Barnsley as well as Whitby. Young Rupert from London is one to watch; a singer guitarist he performs traditional material in a vocally very inventive way as well as the odd self penned song. Unfortunately, he and his companion were only up for a week but he hopes to come back in the future, maybe Folk Week.

Off to Saltburn tonight, weather permitting, to find out what is happening to the copying of my new flute CD.
