light showers didn’t seem to be dampening spirits at a reinvigorated filey festival today. filey is a few miles down the coast from us and beyond yorkshire it’s a bit a well-kept secret for those who want a taste of the unspoilt british seaside - there are few more quietly enjoyable experiences that munching chips on the coble landing watching the fishing cobles being pulled off the sands. and what sands - nearly six miles of golden beach.

an altogether more contemporary side of filey is on show thursday, friday and saturday this week as part of the festival - ‘electric promenade’ promises digital projections on the beach, the result of local artist rachel massey working with local youth. fingers crossed the weather brightens before then.

well, web 2.0 actually. it’s interesting that the internet is evolving into something that more resembles the philosophy we’ve developed as electric angel. so we’ve been doing a little catching up and actually using this technology:
