Here We Come a-Wassailing (BBC 1977) - Part 1 of 5

BBC TV programme (1977). Folk customs and ancient rural games Carol singing. Midwinter rituals. Music by the Albion Band. Narrated by John Tams. Unfortunately the first one or two minutes are missing so I made a new intro.

Thank you. I didn't record it in 1977 but in the early nineties and have not seen it since on television.

But who knows? BBC4 does reshow programmes older than this one.

Thanks a million for uploading this, especially in high quality. I never knew it existed! Must have been down the pub in 1977. Be great if the BBC could reshow the series on BBC4, but I'm not holding my breath.
