From Colin Irwin (@MOJOmagazine) who was at the @LizHonks & Michael Walsh gig @WhitbyFW ."Flute and cello? That's not going to work is it? Is it? Well, it bloody does in the hands of Michael Walsh and Liz Hanks! Beautiful. Art music for the soul." #folk #festivals @frootsmag

Lovely show @pvespertine , New fiddle album by English fiddler @BryonyGriffith is a lovely listen is you get a chance. My favourite at the moment. Saw her launch concert @WhitbyFW last week. It was class. #folk

Massive thanks to everyone who came to my southern and northern album launches of Hover. And thanks to @sidmouthfolk and @WhitbyFW for hosting them. Great fun! If you didn't manage to get hold of a copy you can buy one online from bryonygriffith.com/recordings/!

Memories of @WhitbyFW

Lovely message from @WhitbyFW audience member: "One of our ‘new to us’ surprise highlights of the week. Loved your playing and moved by the spoken tribute to your father. Hope he was listening. Thank you". @lizhanks #folk #Festivals #cello #flute #Irish #Sheffield #Sligostyle

Thanks to all @WhitbyFW, the artists we performed with and the wonderful audiences. @Lizhonks and I would come back in a heart beat. A wonderful festival.

Thank you to everyone who has performed & helped out at the festival and to everyone who came along to enjoy it – you make Whitby what it is….just brilliant. Thanks also to everyone who has shared with us on SM We’ll see you all next year – 17th to 23rd August!
