Honey and the Hex

The Black Cap

Listen Later

Strolling along Camden High Street today, it is hard to imagine a time when it was rural. A time where witches inhabited what are now our local haunts (literally). If you’ve never picked up a ouija board during a drag show, then look no further... join us in the iconic Black Cap pub!

Honey and the Hex is a sibling duo exploring the origins, traditions and intersections of folklore and where they lie today. Through a progressive lens they delve into myths, magick and mystery. Journey through the British Isles in search of gremlins, goblins, fairies, banshees, witches and vampires.
