Event information

Bryony and Alice present ‘Wesselbobs’, a brand new collection of old winter songs and tunes sourced from their native county of Yorkshire.

This carefully curated compilation of twelve wintery offerings features Bryony and Alice's signature sound of fiddle, harmonium, tenor guitar and body percussion, combined with their beautifully matched vocals and intricate harmonies, and of course, their trademark regional accents.

Together they have unearthed a treasure trove of traditional gems, featuring uniquely local versions of more classic seasonal songs, intuitively arranged to cast a spotlight on the rich traditions, tales and winter rituals they depict.

The title "Wesselbobs" refers to a local tradition whereby decorated, evergreen boughs, built around a spherical frame, were carried door to door by Wassailers or carol singers in the 18 and 1900s. Also known as Wessel-bobs, Wassail-bobs or Wesley-bobs, it most notably occurred in the communities of West Yorkshire. An album of the same name is available.

The venue is easily accessed by public transport (close to tram and bus routes) with plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessible - licensed bar.
