Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

A super story about charming ravens and a lovely lady in Hollywood.

Beautiful Bird is so special to me. I received it in the final moments when my mother passed. I felt her spirit leave her body and I began to journey away with her. Then I remembered I had to come back! As I was ‘re-entering’ the room this song was fully-formed in my head.

An acoustic excerpt of my new cover song Beautiful Bird.

🎊 New Song Release 🎊 Beautiful Bird is a song I’ve covered by Adrian Freedman. There’s a magical video for it here.

I was touched when I heard this beautiful version by Holly. I love the gentle, ethereal character of her voice and her interpretation of the song.

This is the coolest mix by Anna Gram, I’ve got on repeat at the moment. So many 80s vibes and ethereal melodies with a classic trance sound. Groovy af! These tracks remind me of the good old trance days in the early 2000s at The Opera House in Bournemouth. Beautiful.

There is a song coming soon, a powerful song, which I received in the moments of the death of my dear mother. The song touches upon grieving and sorrow, but is also a song of liberation. Thank you to Holly Honeychurch for this ethereal interpretation of the song.

If you fancy a simple, melancholic, cosmic harp journey with a flower, here’s my latest Late Nite Harp podcast - Flower Blooming. Some of you may have heard it during Micro Camp. Here’s the whole 8 minutes : )

2nd jag day. Even though I’ve already had Covid (and fortunately wasn’t too badly affected) I’ve still got to have the 2nd dose as it’s the only way I can legally go clubbing in Scotland. The things I do for dancing.

Doesn’t get much cuter than this. Goblins aka pugs in their Halloween costumes.

Always learning.

Just found an awesome Glaswegian DJ, Anna Gram. Delicious, retro, melodic flavours run through her ever changing beats. I’m glad I get to party with her in December. I love hearing new DJs. Glasgow has an eclectic mix and all are welcome. Party on people. Go sparkle! 💃🏾✨🕺🏽

I love these foxy characters, including a tree fox who can climb so high.

And sweet Muttias with his foxy sounds.

I find foxes endearing and I love Save a Fox rescue centre for taking in those in need.

This is some kinda doggy paradise.

New favourite YouTube channel. Doggy Daycare Farm Trips in Australia. It makes me so happy watching this.

Last autumn, I released an autumnally inspired cosmic harp journey. It’s a swirly piece with contrasting layers, full of sparkle and radiance. A lot has happened since then, including releasing an album and a course. I still love it.

Floofy hair dayz.

Thomas Coats Memorial Baptist Church in Paisley, on a bright, sunny day is something special. I just adore these sandstone steps.

I had an interview on UK Health Radio’s, Alchemy 101 recently. Can’t quite bring myself to listen to it, I’ve heard that’s a normal reaction, but I appreciate having the opportunity to talk about what I do and share a little music with JJ Stenhouse.

Fireworks over the city last night too far away to capture. A blur of light was just as pretty. Officially known as Guy Fawkes Night in the UK.

A sweet cover song with a poignant story, getting a special release soon…

Recording video can be challenging in the city. Like today, just as I’d pressed record, I immediately heard the familiar sounds of cheerful scaffolders coupled with clanging metal. Luckily, they were only a wee while. Here’s a still from the afternoon, for a release coming soon…

First time dancing in a while. Found this set to be most healing and smooth for my current buzz. With lovely relaxed yet energising beats, each track felt like an exotic flower freshly blooming. So beautiful. Lush animation too. Thanks, Vasho for the mix.

A spooky, musical offering today on Late Nite Harp. Calm, atmospheric, lots of cats!! Happy Halloween! 👻😽🎃

It can often feel hard to pull away from creative work at home to visit new places. Staying local has become a habit, but it’s not expansive. Throw into that mix my challenging foot, no car and a tight budget, and that’s a recipe for isolation. Today we visited Milngavie : )

This lamp has come into my life at just the right time. It was in another room, rarely used. I moved it through to my space in the kitchen. I feel I’ve gained a special friend of light. It helps me see my keyboard at night and feels like a comfort as the nights draw in.
