Musicport - the World comes to Whitby

Oct 16th - 18th

Lovely weekend at this music festival, recommended by DJ Fflyffilyfbbl (aka old friend Dewi).


I started the weekend standing on a cold and windy clifftop listening to a samba band and watching fire jugglers as it got dark. Brilliant fun. I joined the procession down to the pavilion, which had 3 venues and the Hub, where DJs (including Dewi) played. 







DJ FFlyf.... Dewi








I stayed on the carpark of the cricket club, eventually hemmed in by two massive vans, but at least they kept the wind off! Bit grim, not even a tap.



Highlights:
Fri - Varldens Band, Terry Hall's reggae selection

Sat - Ben Rogers (joint best of festival), Blanty, Blue Rose Code, Fanfara Tirana, parts of Dub Colossus.


Brilliant Ben Rogers







Sun - Demon Barbers XL, Emily Portman Trio (joint best), The Gentle Good, Eliza Carthy
Emily without the trio




Lowlights:
None. Yay!
