Walpurgis Revels

May Day's Eve 1998 at 'Beyond the Pale'

Walpurgisnacht: and 'Beyond the Pale' celebrates Procol Harum's mind-curdling instrumental: so put on your favourite recording of Repent Walpurgis, turn up the volume, and read on!   

A guitarist turns
into a drummer

Auditory onslaught
in the snow

Celeste and the Repent
Walpurgis oath!

Got a great idea –
gonna write a sonnet

How RW relates to the
death of a dictator

In praise of the
Symphonic Walpurgis

Many Walpurgises, and
Robin's Procol audition

Matthew, Robin, BJ and
Gary on equal terms

Notes on a stand-in's
Repent Walpurgis

Prophetic Walpurgis
foretells Procol history

Repent ... Procol's
A Day in the Life

Repent Walpurgis
as a Top 5 single

Revealed at last: the words
of Repent Walpurgis

The caress of a woman
and the heartbeat of horror

The fan who travelled through
Procol Harum backwards

Walburga, Willibald and
Winebald from Wessex

Walpurgis and Strawberry
Fields Forever, heard in
their rightful order

Not forgetting the original 'BtP' page about R W (and Fortuna) which includes Matthew Fisher's explanation of the title
