What: Inkubus Sukkubus @ May Hill Village Hall

When:

Inkubus Sukkubus @ May Hill Village Hall The Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder events were established in 2016 by Gloucestershire band Inkubus Sukkubus as a way of celebrating the dark folklore and customs of Great Britain. They have variously been held in specially-chosen historic venues – such as Blackfriars Priory; St Briavels Castle; The Barn at The Fleece, Bretforton; and The Folk of Gloucester. In 2025, the band is celebrating their 36th Anniversary, and so they’ve chosen the magical surroundings of May Hill in the Forest of Dean to mark the occasion (the Gloucestershire ‘witches’ hill’ with the distinctive clump of trees on top). Evening Tickets are for entry on the Saturday Night, if you wish to camp please purchase a Camping Ticket. Support comes from Stroud-based trio Toadstone, plus there’s a lively and informative illustrated talk on the history of witch persecution by ‘The Witchfynder’, aka John Putley of Gloucestershire Archives.

Who: Inkubus Sukkubus

Folklore
Inkubus Sukkubus is a British Pagan Goth/Folk rock band, based in Gloucestershire, with an international following. The subject matter of their music tends to veer towards the dark and supernatural, exploring witchcraft, magick, folklore, death rites and more. The Inkies – as they’ve come to be known – were formed by Candia, Tony and Adam in the summer of 1989, and have been releasing albums and touring ever since. To date, they’ve brought out 27 studio albums and performed live in Mexico, USA, Australia, Russia, Turkey, Scandinavia, UK and most of Europe; they have also appeared on national terrestrial television in the UK, Greece, Germany and Finland. In 2019, they celebrated their 30th Anniversary with a series of live concerts and the release of a new album, Lilith Rising. In 2020, Candia and Tony McKormack published a book and CD based on their Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder trilogy, taking a deeper look at the meaning of some of their songs and the folklore that inspired them. Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder – The folklore, myths and magic of Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds and beyond: Exploring the lyrics of Inkubus Sukkubus (ISBN 978-1-5136-6580-1) is available direct from the band for £15 (+P&P) for book and 13-track CD. Spring 2021 saw the release of their 26th studio release, The Way of the Witch, and a series of live dates, including a return to Castle Party at Bolków Castle. In 2022 Inkubus Sukkubus were back writing and gigging, playing dates in Poland and the UK, including a 25th Anniversary event at Whitby, and a special Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder fundraiser for the Tudor buildings of The Folk of Gloucester, which included talks, living history, dance, ritual, cinema, and music. On Midsummer 2023 the band released their 27th studio album, She of a Thousand Names, brought out in conjunction with a PC game of the same name, devised and created by Tony. Last year (2024) saw them celebrating 35 years of continuous writing and performing, as well as the 30th Anniversary of the celebrated Wytches album. The band celebrated with a series of special events – including in Mexico, Italy and Brazil – as well as a limited new format release of Wytches; and a boxed wooden USB collection of their vampire-inspired material, complete with atmospheric computer game designed specially for the release by Tony. In 2025, the band will be hittng the road again, with both UK and overseas gigs in the offing. They are are currently working on their 28th album, due to be released later in the year.
