Wassail 

I asked my 30-year-old daughter to watch this. She was upset with me because now she can't get the tune out of her head. BBT has fast become one of my favourite groups. I had tickets to see them in Toronto in 2020 but the show was cancelled due to COVID.

Gorgeous sound Great composition Skilled musicians But above all, I love bbt's unique song subjects

RIP David. Great voice, nice man

R.I.P. Mr. David Longdon.

Really nice. BBT have become one of my favourite bands.

I found this band a couple of years and instantly fell in love with their music. Very much early Genesis sounding, a HUGE compliment from me.... HUGE !

Brano d'eccellenza, magistrali nel groove, atmosfere celtiche.....adoro gli BBT

Like early 'Genesis', steeped in English folklore. Excellent!

Oh. My. God!!! Premiering on my birthday 'n' all!! 😎 It's a stonkingly good new track and an awesome vid!! Thanks Big Big Train!!!

A particularly well done piece that is recognizable as as prog rock but sounds like it came from now, and not 1979. Thank you for offering extraordinary talent while not being hopelessly derivative. I'm playing your EP on a loop. Wish I could do more for you. Cheers.

Man, so glad I found this band, good song.

Apple tree, old apple tree Bountiful we raise a glass to thee We sing our song Stand fast, stand strong Bough and leaf bear fruit aplenty In Eden gone, when the world was young Paradise was where it all began Just one bite was all it took Expulsion and the fall of man Apple tree, we bless your crown Yield much fruit or fell ye down Raise your roots Hear me, tree! Bough and leaf bear fruit aplenty Wassail - Bring new life Wassail - Be alive Wassail - Blessed be Wassail Wassail King, hear us sing Through the orchards And the village green We sing our song Stand fast, stand strong Bough and leaf bear fruit aplenty Wassail Queen - Oh my, oh my She is beauty personified Raise her up to the bough of the tree Blessed be Wassail Return to the womb Deep down in the earth Wait for the spring rebirth The clayen cup We douse the roots With cider kept from last year's fruits Cut in twain A five pointed star A sign of who we are Let spirits fly The apple of my eye Wassail

I missed these releases somehow! Great to find them... killer tunes, this is!

Good to hear new music from Big Big Train. A progression to more folk influence whilst sounding rockier than ever. Organ playing bigger role than previous. EP is ordered.

The band know what they are doing - and they are doing very well indeed. Looking forward to the release of the EP and any other projects in the near and distant future. Well worth the wait when the results are as good as this.

I keep thinking "They can't top that" and then you do. Great stuff, keep up the good work.

Very exciting to hear such excellent new music from BBT!!! This is above my expectations! Great work guys!

Sophisticated is the only word I can come up with, also beautiful.

very very good news !!!! it will be light my summer !!! thanks Big Big Men !!! Hey Rijkaard !! Long Life to Beardfish !!!

These guys are amazing. They never release a bad song.

Stupendous! My favorite working band strikes again! Album pre-ordered!

This music is indescribable.

Of course, today is Wassail day in the south west of England, where the tradition originated.

This is so awesome!!!

Beautiful and stupendous.

Very nice tune & vid. Glad I saw the link on Matt Steady's FB. I hope to get back to the UK someday for a live listen. Cheers from Greensboro, NC

Special meaning now, this song & video. Very sad.

Looking forward for the DVD!

A big thank you to Darren Redick and his Prog Rock Show on Planet Rock for introducing me to Big Big Train. Excellent!

Great song!

Way to go guys!!

What a band!!!.......

OUTSTANDING!!! Prog lives. BBT is just one more of the bands regenerating progressive rock over the last decade. If you like this you need to listen to there previous releases. Support this band...they deserve it.

Sounds pretty good.

Divine......

Que buena banda

Today all BBT fans birthday? Torbjörn Janson, today's my birthday too! A great gift from BBT!!!

Yes, BBT are one of the best these days.

It is like Kansas goes to Ireland!!-EXCELLENT!!!

Ooh er. Very Pagan!! Big Big train are awesome.

Big BIG Sound

Can't get enough of BBT

Very nice. I like that it differs a bit from English Electric, a positive move forward!

Класс! Настоящий прог!

This is a great song. It was always apparent that BBT's music, certainly since 2009, was strongly influenced by early Genesis. With this song, it became apparent to me that it was also influenced by Peter Gabriel, as it reminded me of Sledgehammer quite a bit. I had never seen the official video of the song before, but how great is it? It's based on footage taken at Real World studio, when the band booked time there in 2014, in an effort to prepare itself to play live shows. In a recent interview with Greg Spawton, I learned two things: that David Langdon composed Wassail after being inspired during the band's stay at the studio, and that Real World is actually Peter Gabriel's studio. How's that for a coincidence?

👍😊

This has a bit of Traffic about it. Definitely a Steve Winwood organ sound.

I hope it's mastered better than the last few albums (the sibilence was killer).

Two weeks to go...

BBT AND Isildurs Bane!!!.

How the hell can this get 12 thumbs down!

The snare on the 3rd beat really ruins it for me. It's just too loud.
