Malcolm Storey
The entire Whitby Folk Week family is devastated by the loss of Malcolm Storey, who sadly died 7th January.
As many of you will know, Malcolm took over the running of the festival in the 1980s; a role he undertook for 25 years, during which time Folk Week grew and flourished into the annual gathering we all know and love so much. Despite retiring in 2006 he was still seen as the face of Whitby Folk Week to so many people.
We will be sure to honour his contribution during this year’s festival
