From Jenny Hill:
Exciting news about this year’s Lunchtime Concerts! We have a fantastic line-up for this year’s concerts at St John’s, which you will see summarized on the above poster. The series begins next Friday 1st August with acclaimed guitarist Jonathan Ross Parkin. Jonathan hailed from Teeside, and is currently resident in Valencia. Described as ‘an immensely gifted and talented musician’ by BBC Radio 3 and winner of numerous national and international guitar competitions, Jonathan’s virtuosic and expressive playing combined with his intimate knowledge of Spanish music and culture means that this concert is not to be missed. His programme Echoes of España takes us into a world where the past meets the present, and the evocative sounds of Spain are brought to life through the timeless voice of the guitar.
WHEN: Friday 1 August 2025 at 11.45 AM
WHERE: St John the Evangelist, Brunswick Street, Whitby.
Jonathan Parkin, Classical Guitar: Echoes of España

I’d guess that was deliberate, to avoid a clash of competing events. I understand the music programme at St John’s has no connections with Folk Week, apart from both appealing to (the same?) music lovers.
