Thank You from Sompting Village Morris for Wassailing in Tarring

Dear Emily, and South Downs Folk Singers

Thank you so much for the lovely Wassail singing at the Sompting Village Morris event on Mon 5 Jan, in Tarring. 

We had the most spectacular evening, with the procession of flaming torches, and a large appreciative crowd to cheer us on. There was such a mass of onlookers in the Vine garden, but the Wassail songs resonated through the trees, adding to the
magical tradition of the evening.  I hope the singers enjoyed the event as much as we did.

Please save the date for the singers to come and perform again at next year's Wassail - this will be on Tues 5 Jan 2027.

Thank you again for bringing the Wassail songs to such a memorable evening.

Wassail! Wassail! (The Gloucester Wassail) - Short Version

Alan has offered us a shortened version of the Gloucester Wassail, which reflects the verses we usually sing.

You'll find all the lyrics of this shortened version on this link and on our "Songs and Recording" page.
