About Eliza Carthy & Jon Boden’s Wassail

Listed Under Christmas Events / Music Events / Nights Out Events

Before there was carolling, there was wassailing, where seasonal songs were exchanged for money, food and ale.

In November/December 2023 Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden combine their considerable talents and reputations within the UK folk scene, for the first time ever touring as a duo for a nationwide wassail across key venues culminating in a show at Assembly Roxy.

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.
