Since 1995 we have appeared all over the UK at Folk Festivals, Arts Festivals, Village/School Fetes, Local community events, Weddings, Pagan/New Age conferences and will consider all invites big, small, conventional, or just plain WiErD.
As a result of this policy we have been able to perform in on or near everything from STONEHENGE to TELEVISION.
We also offer WORKSHOPS where we often take people from merely having a go, to getting CREATIVE. Far more fun than orienteering in the rain as TEAM BUILDING exercises go...

Influences

Oh, you mean musically?
All sorts, and Wolf's Head & Vixen members are equally likely to be found slamming around in a Moshpit as skipping lightly around a Village Hall Ceilidh.

WANT TO JOIN?
Get in touch. Your Stage awaits...
Are we all Pagans/Satanist's?
Despite what you might read in the Indy and a couple of god botherer websites, no.
We want our 'Friends' to be just that. We welcome everyone; Morris sides, Individuals, Bands (of any genre) interested in or with a connection to what we do.
However, due to the recent ridiculous amount of obvious commercial 'Band Spam' where numbers are more important than friendship or sense of community...
WE NOW ONLY ADD PRO-BAND/MUSIC PAGES IF YOU ASK US WITH A NICE PERSONAL MESSAGE.
We also do not add anyone with unreadable or deliberately hidden profiles/blogs: We don't have time to sort out Nutters or anyone else who hasn't actually read down this far. IF YOU HAVE SUCH A PAGE for sensible reasons, just send us a message.
SO, STOP BY & BE FRIENDLY!

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my myspace blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
