Musicport 2026

Thanks for all your stories, Musicport 2026! 🎶

We were lucky to join the fantastic Lobster Lounge, run by Whitby Lobster Hatchery, at this year’s Musicport Festival in Whitby.

We recorded 8 fabulous stories and connected with around 20 more people keen to share their stories with us in the future.

A few highlights:

  • A moving reflection on everyday heroism, told through one man’s father and his life in the Navy during the Second World War.

  • An emotional journey into the highs and lows of surfing, and its impact on the soul.

  • A conversation with a Whitby photographer capturing the town in its true light, from its landscapes and people to its industry.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared a piece of their story with us. 📖


As ever, please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to preserve you connection to the sea for generations to come!
