We now have this album autographed by John & Janice and the tee shirt - brilliant souvenir. From the Cumberland Arms, I sent a photo on my language exchange to Luisa (my friend in Italy) with some clips of the music. She was so inspired that she googled "wassailing" She said (in Italian) that she loved your voices and how well they blended. She said that the music was exciting and reached one's heart.She said that you were so talented. Finally, she found this video. Sadly, she is not a music promoter! Wishing you both a Happy Christmas and every success in 2025. Best wishes from Suzanne xx & Alpin

Love the harmonies

I first heard this song as an acoustic instrumental by Laurence Juber "The Bells of Paradise" It does sound a bit John Renbourny now you mention it. Love your version, Merry Christmas :)

Dutch also has the adjective heftig, meaning intense or heavy (as in "That was a heavy experience"). The final g-sound is gutteral, similar to ch in Scottish loch. Fascinating, ain't it? Wonderful song, by the way, especially the harmony singing. Was Janice channelling the spirit of Jacqui McShee of Pentangle?
