Dave & Toni Arthur - Hearken To The Witches Rune

Rare cult folk with a bizarre back story. Dave and Toni Arthur could be found presenting and writing songs for Play School and Play Away; two staples of BBC childrens television programming.

They had spent the last few years as a recording duo, with this album being a witchcraft folk oddity.

There are connections to Alex and Maxine Sanders (the imagery of whom can be found in certain parts of this blog) and the wiccan movement in the U.K.

The story is told far better and in depth here.

Repressed only once, in 1975.
