Two Whitby concerts
Aug. 29th, 2015 10:52 pmWe piggy-backed on a day of the Bears' holiday, joining them in Whitby for a day of the Folk Week, a day being morning to morning, with an overnight B&B between. For the first time, we booked ourselves day tickets: this doesn't actually make any sort of sense financially, unless you view it as a donation to support the Festival - and actually, why not? It doesn't even avoid having to queue for popular concerts, though it does increase your chance of being in that part of the queue that actually gets into the concert.
BoyBear was feeling fragile when we arrived, so we abandoned him and set off with GirlBear in search of lunch and afternoon concert. The creperie which GirlBear had earmarked for lunch (sometimes it's open in the day, sometimes it's evenings only: the pattern appears to be that if we are looking for lunch it's closed, if we aren't it's open) but we had sandwiches and excellent pea soup at the Whitby Deli, and enjoyed our lunch enough that we misread the programme and turned up for the 'Family' concert (families on stage, not necessarily in the audience) when it had already started.
( Afternoon concert )
Back to the flat, where BoyBear had perked up enough to take a little refreshment, and to plot the evening's entertainment over a picnic tea: there were a concert with Archie Fisher, that could be fun. Or here was one with John Tams, Alastair Anderson - no, Alastair Anderson & Dan Walsh: 'BoyBear, who's Dan Walsh?' 'Red-hot banjo player - get your coat!' So we went to that one.
( Evening concert )
Bonus track:
