Just been going through the songs submitted to the Hallowe'en Mudcat self-promotion/singaround thread, and although attendance was not massive, I found it most entertaining.

So, I thought, how about Mudcatters submit links to music and songs - preferably of their own making, or alternatively which they love by others - suited to a Yule / Xmas theme?

Any songs, either Christian, Pagan or Seasonally focused, welcome.

Please link to actual music (audio or video) rather than simply lyrics or titles as is the norm on MC - but lyrics also welcomed *alongside* the audio/video links!

Another song on that CD, and maybe my favorite on it. This is Jed Marum at his most festive!:>)Just one warning. The song has this addictive chorus that I couldn't stop singing last year until January..

Here's the link to our (One Star Awake's) brand new Xmas/winter EP, Wintersong, launched this week:

Wintersong EP

Of the 4 tracks, 2 are poems by others set to my music, one is traditional, and one is all my own work. Downloads are free.

Hope you enjoy!

Sedayne is a Mudcatter whose music I also discovered on the Mudcat CDs from last year. Here's a very moody yuletide piece from his Youtube site, which I hope he doesn't mind my sharing here...

Cheers, Lonesome EJ -
Last year we made up a Soundcloud page called WINTERFLORA (geddit????) including a new / improved Gower Wassail (with vocal harmony on the chorus!) and more besides, ancient & modern. All free with notes / pics etc.

PS - Venereum Arvum is a name we use sparingly these days as people can't pronounce it without making it sound like some sort of social disease, so mostly we stick to Rapunzel & Sedayne.

and Cheers back at you two, R&S! I have become a fan of your stuff, which I might describe as Eclectic British World-Roots Music, but who would want to be saddled with such a moniker? Good stuff that hits me on a primal level is what it certainly is. Keep up the good work!

Eclectic British World-Roots Music

Aw man - that's perfect! It goes nicely with our other moniker of Mom 'n' Pop Frailin' Fiddlin' Folkin' Fun. Taking of which, just posted this on the general Rapunzel & Sedayne page:

I have been uploading Christmas songs at this time of year for three or four years now and have them gathered in a playlist the link for which is below:
