IT may have no electricity, no toilets and is surrounded by a graveyard – but Old St Stephen's Church in Fylingdales is just the place for a gig.
In the past the redundant church has hosted bands including Waterson:Carthy, the world-renowned folk group who have performed at the Royal Albert Hall.
On Sunday, this building will again host a festival of sound as professional musician Tony Morris showcases his numerous talents by performing Native American flute, lyre and bowed psaltery.
Alongside these spell-binding and haunting instruments the intimate gig will also include a series of storytelling with music, original unaccompanied song and poetry.
Tony Morris, believed to be the only professional player of Native American style flute in North Yorkshire, recently featured at the Mindbodyspirit Fair at the Whitby Pavilion to great acclaim and is currently working with a healer to produce recordings intended as an aid to personal meditation.
Hosted to coincide with the Autumn Equinox and International Day of Peace the event will raise much-needed funds for both the church and the lifeboat.
Booking in advance is recommended as there is very limited seating. Entry is priced at £5 each for the concert, which lasts an hour bearing in mind the lack of toilet facilities.
Tickets can be purchased at The Station Road Post Office, Robin Hood's Bay and Thorpe Stores, Fylingdales.
Those travelling to the venue by car should leave their vehicles at Robin Hood's Bay visitors' car park.
