Have you ever heard of wassailing? We love visiting traditions like these because they bring people together and strengthen communities, which is more important than ever this year. Sharing songs, finding joy, and caring for each other — will you sing with us?

We wrote this arrangement of Cyril Tawney’s Grey Funnel Line more than ten years ago, and singing it never gets old 😍 Now you can enjoy the full song in all its resonant glory! youtu.be/jsaeaDC0TsQ?...

Comment 😈 if you love a toe-tapping song with a good message! We adapted this piece by Le Vent du Nord several years ago and it’s still one of our favorite. Hear it at an upcoming show! Windbornesingers.com/concerts

THE PROBLEM IS REALLY THE BILLIONAIRE
This song has been on our minds a lot lately 😑

These words were written in the 1840s by Chartist leader Ernest Jones. The more things change the more they stay the same 🙄

We’re always looking for more resonant spaces for spontaneous singing—where should we go next?
