Many thanks Jo. Hope you are all having a great time.. I work on the principle of if people are polite and pleasant I will always be the same back. Sadly there's always a tiny percentage who aren't polite but they form a tiny minority and its lovely to see the many thousands of really happy lovely people who come to Whitby for your event.

I remember going to Whitby about 20 years ago, I actually went to camp there for a weekend, --- I had no clue about Goth weekend then and it wasn't as big as it is now, But on our way there from Redcar, In them little country lanes we started spotting Vampires and such ..We was really freaked out at first .. Like --"Did you see that in that dark lane??" - "Sure I just saw a bunch of Vampires ..hahahaha ..Needless to say we got to Whitby town and all was revealed ..I had a lovely time and it was just brilliant, (I camped beneath the bungalow near the Fish smoking hut on them tiered bits haha.

Absolutely brilliant! I had MANY "Goth" mates back in Yorkshire in the 80s - they didn't look like most of these guys though! I was more of a Rockerbilly back then but it's really amazing to see where the "movement/look/lifestyle?" has gone to. It seems to have morphed into a combination of the original Goths of the 80s (yes, I appreciate the history of it), steam punk and fancy dress. Much more advanced than our lot ever were. Having said that, I'm not sure if all of these guys would have made it into Spiders (club in Hull) on a Saturday night back in the 80s! Another great video. Cheers for posting. Appreciate it.

I started going to the goth weekend in 1997 when it actually was a goth weekend and it was amazing. It is just unfortunate that they invented steam punk as they encroach on everyone else's events and take over. They are nothing to do with the goth culture. So sad.

I disliked Whitby and the Goths; the place I found wet and the people rude. They had the fine qualities which bore me - thrift and industry and long-faced holiness, and the young women are mostly great genteel boisterous things who are no doubt bedworthy enough if your taste runs that way. (One acquaintance of mine who had a Goths clergyman’s daughter described it as like wrestling with a sergeant of dragoons.) The men I found solemn, hostile, and greedy, and they found me insolent, arrogant, and smart.
