Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

Really enjoyed this dog behaviour video from the dog’s eye level. Super interesting with lots of different situations explained and slowed down to study the behaviour in detail, because as we know, everything happens so quickly when it comes to dog reactions.

Awesome lil Dodo. “The sun rises and sets with my two cats. Truly.”

As a kid at the seaside, I loved nothing better than playing in amusement arcades on crane machines, trying to win the umpteenth cuddly toy or dropping 10p into a slot machine at the right moment and watching it fall down in the hopes of hearing that classic sound of coins falling out the other end. I was obsessed by the sights and sounds of seaside amusements. These days, I just like to watch other people succeed and try not to get too overwhelmed by the intense, repetitive music, weird smells and chaos going on all around me. Candy floss anyone?

I’ve created an ethereal wolf soundscape. There are many different personalities here. A whole pack of wild wolves. And, together with resonant, deep and uplifting cosmic harp music, a realm of nature and musical mystery entwine. Find your own inner ‘awoooo’ with my latest release Cosmic Wolves.

Having one last listen to my new track Cosmic Wolves ready for it being released on Bandcamp soon, woohoo! There’ll be lots of deep resonant bass, high vibrational moments, and ethereal wolves awoooo-ing throughout. It’s magical, mysterious and romantically wild.

Hawthorn berries against a blue sky is the most beautiful thing and makes me so happy!

Cosmic Wolves anyone? Tonight I’m playing celestial harp with ethereal, howling wolves. It’s going to be beautiful, haunting and magic. 19:30 BST - Cosmic Wolf Harp.

Please enjoy five hours of angelic, celestial harp music. Some tracks are super cosmic with lots of layers, others are simpler and softer. Expect seashores, cat purrs and deep relaxation.

Are you a cat or a dog person? I’m both, but I love dogs best on a part-time (non-walking) basis. This fun article is a sweet, affirming read. โ€œItโ€™s about having that relationship with an animal,โ€ explains Buzzel, โ€œthat chooses independence, but at the same time, chooses you.โ€ Amen to that.

Love this Drum and Bass set from Maduk. Lots of funky, liquid beats. Love the Pokemon remix. Now that takes me back to happy moments. And other 90s retro samples dotted about the set are evocative of times past and remixed to create even more awesomeness. Enjoy the bounce.

I love Shostakovichโ€™s Piano Concerto no. 2.

I had the pleasure of meeting this Red Admiral today. What a beauty.

Happy Friday! This is a gloriously sweeping harp journey full of joy and vibrancy. It ebbs and flows and has an uplifting energy to it as it dances across the strings. It’s also pensive and emotive and offers you a warm, wise embrace.
