Before there was carolling, there was wassailing, where seasonal songs were exchanged for money, food and ale. In the countryside trees were blessed, while in the towns wassaillers went house to house with their songs and calls for Christmas treats. Coming from the Anglo Saxon waes hael, ‘wassail’ is a toast wishing good health with a ‘be well’.
In November 2025 Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden combine their considerable talents and reputations within the UK folk scene, touring as a duo once again, for a nationwide wassail across key venues. Presenting seasonal, traditional material on a stage decorated for the occasion, they will take audiences back to some of the oldest songs in the English canon, telling Christmas tales, spreading good cheer and lighting up the darkest days of the year, ahead of Christmas Day itself.
In 2023 The Wassail hit the road for its first full tour, supported by the release of the seasonal album, Glad Christmas Comes (Hudson Records)
"Beautiful music from two of our very finest and most valuable artists currently working; Glad Christmas Comes is a very easy album to love." (Folk Radio UK)
The tour sold out in venues across the UK, with over 90% of tickets sold across the whole tour. After a two year break, The Wassail returns to a host of very special venues in November/December2025. Get your tickets while they are still available.
