We’re delighted to welcome, in collaboration with the wonderful Downend Folk and Roots, Yorkshire folk duo Bryony Griffith and Alice Jones.
Enjoy a festive collection of traditional winter tunes from their 2023 Christmas album Wesselbobs, including unique and memorable local versions of the classics we all know and love.
Fun fact: A wesselbob, or wassail-bob, is a decorated evergreen bough built around a spherical frame, carried by carol singers (or wassailers) in the 19th Century.
What to expect: A richly curated collection of seasonal songs demonstrating the beautiful heritage of Yorkshire folk, alongside lots of Northern banter and fun!
