Track 1 trad. arr. Bryony Griffith and Alice Jones

Wessel-bobs, Wassail-bobs or Wesley-bobs were a kind of decorated, evergreen bough built around a spherical frame, carried by Wassailers or carol singers, mostly in West Yorkshire, which is where we are from. The term also refers to hand-made fabric baubles pinned round with ribbons, and delicate glass baubles that were sold in the mid-1900s.
