Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch
“Hmpf. I don’t want to do anymore harp practise. I want to go outside and play!”
Anyone play an instrument as a child? While all my friends were outside playing I’d have to practise my violin for a whole 30 mins! That’s forever for a kiddo. I was so cross. 🤣
That light shape in the distance is the bushy tail of my first Scottish Fox!! They crossed my path, walked over the deserted road in front of me then down a lane. A long way away by the time I passed. Doing the rounds are you? What are you up to foxy? 🦊
Here’s to all the creatives out there. Pushing the boundaries, trying new things. Push push push! You never know what you’ll find! You never know what you’re gonna get! 🌈 🌈 🌈
New Late Nite Harp coming soooon!
New delight. Taking my walk at night and dancing round deserted streets, smelling night time flowers. Touching pink blossoms and sensing spring by night with dnb on my headphones and energy in my body. It’s a beautiful experience. This magic keeps me in tune with my soul.
In the Precious Moonlight
I am so pleased with how this turned out. Sweet and innocent with a touch of pizazz. This song has a warm, flamboyant beat. I always feel so happy singing it.

Day 6 - A song a day.
Wake Up to Love
Happy Springtime!! Let’s be joyous as the seasons change. I’m appreciating the milder weather. I see the blue tits whizzing about and hear the blackbird’s song. It keeps my spirits up.
I wrote this a couple of years ago. I love the dreaminess of it. I’ll be recording an extended harp version for Late Nite Harp very soon. Enjoy.
Day 5 - A song a day.
Mother's Day with the Bunnies
The bunnies are back and raring to go. They’re presenting the whole podcast today so get ready for some fun! There’s even a bit of singing in the middle.
Somewhere Out There - An American Tail.
Day 3 - A song a day.
My Heart is Full of Hope
A song I wrote a few years back. Smooth, flowing, soft, deep. Loch Lomond’s waters kissed me today and settled me into a peaceful, hopeful vibe. I’m about to go deeper and record an extended version of this melody on the harp. See you on the other side.
Day 3 - A song a day.
A visit to Luss today by the waters of Loch Lomond with Ben Lomond in the distance. Luss is a quaint, sweet village full of sparrows nesting in hedgerows and ducks glistening emerald green in the sun. I felt peaceful listening to gentle waves lap onto the shore.
Can't Help Falling in Love
Can’t Help Falling in Love - Elvis Presley.
Day 2 (of 30) - A song a day.
Dedicated to my mamma and dadda.
Here’s my challenge. For the next 30 days, I’m going to record a song a day. To get back into the swing of music production. To remember how to use my voice. To practise being in a new shared space. In a city full of noise. I’m going for rawness, passion and heart.
Last night pumped. The bass drove. It felt friendly and fun with most dancing. I like it when people get hyped up by the music. As beats build, the atmosphere intensifies giving me more energy and a big smile. Eating a flapjack at 2am helped too! 11km of steps woo!
It’s been a hard couple of days so i’m off dancing. I’m going to shake it all out. What i’ve learnt is when i think something is hopeless and unfair, it actually turns out to be my biggest teacher which makes me stronger and more sure of myself than ever before.
This is Tom. Simon met him on his walk today. Everyone knows Tom. Everyone strokes Tom. Simon had to queue up to have a stroke. He was third in line. He’s the biggest cat in Glasgow.
An ‘after dance glow’ makes for a good feeling. It’s my first dance in my new home. I worship the oak floors. They’re up there with marble. They’re soft and smooth with a slight skid which brings an excitment to my feet. It’s a perfect dancefloor. Yesss!
