Philleigh Folk Club presents a musical romp of Wassailing on Friday, January 10 at Veryan Sports & Social Club.

After all the excitement of Christmas and New Year, award winning folk musician Jim Causley brings a magical celebration of the ancient West Country tradition of wassailing.

Jim hopes to surprise and delight the audience with a musical romp through the orchards of Cornwall, Devon and beyond, demonstrating the great variety of wassail songs as well as other songs of ritual and custom.

A warming cup of ‘wassail’ (hot mulled cyder) shall be served on the door to get everyone into the wassailing spirit. Jim is a proud Devonian who grew up in a wassailing village not for from Sidmouth Folk Festival.

In recent years he has focused on his musical settings of poems by his relative Charles Causley.
