Their presence shows a deep reverence for oak trees in Northern English traditions, hence the choice of image.

As we have just made our demo available on Streaming services , here's a little history on the front cover. The tree stump is located in Naddle Forest, a small and stunning woodland area in the Lake District, Cumbria, England at the top of Haweswater.

Close to our namesake the Old Corpse Road and one of our favourite haunts, this is where we took the picture in 2008. The woods inspired the song The Oakmen of Naddle forest which tells of creatures associated with sacred oak groves, often seen as guardians of these ancient trees

We don't often play hometown gigs, but we couldn't resist this one. This gig is made up of folks who were all part of the 90's and early 00's Darlington music scene.
Its an eclectic mix, but that jsut keeps it fun.📷

Reclaiming our hacked Instagram posts . The one where I went visiting old haunts where my dad first warned me about Peg Powler. Still one of my favourite tales and haunts.
