One of the best things about January is preparing for a wassail, an ancient ceremony that aims to have some fun while looking to the harvest ahead.

And that’s what is on our mind with this week’s playlist. To whet your appetite for the forthcoming event, organised by Wokingham Music Club, we’ve got some music to enjoy.

As ever, we’re on a mission to champion and showcase great music from acts that have a connection to Reading and Wokingham (that’s the RaW in our Sounds Today name).

It’s a mixture that will help you discover something new. All you have to do is find it on Spotify.

To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstoday and enjoy the music.

It’s a Wassail event so, as well as music from these two great bands, you can expect appearances from Jadoo-Tribal Dance, OBJ Morris and Bang to Rites Drummers. It should be quite a night so to get us in the mood here’s one from Flutatious from their Fluctuations EP which this year celebrates its 10th anniversary since its release on our Magick Eye Records label.

This version was mixed by Reading super producer John Mitchell – https://www.flutatious.co.uk/
