Dear Flock,

I've got some excellent rewards coming soon - but time has not been on my side the last few days.

Between rehearsals and setting up our live show for the LORDI tour (our first one since 2019!), The Nest has been a busy hive of activity.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying it! Feels good to plan again. It's just 2 weeks till the tour.

In the meantime, (and until I can post my full blog) I have been sorting through 15 years of hard-drives to find things to add to THE FLOCK ARCHIVE.

It's taken me some time to sort through all the years of photos & videos, but now there is oodles of tasty content and music in there, going right back to 2009.

The above pic is one of the first ever Birdeatsbaby photos... taken on the beach in Dungeness during one of our "let's dress as soldiers" phases.

It's incredible to think that it was 15 years since Here She Comes-a-Tumblin', and I'm still here, making music.

That is mostly because of you, so I thank you for all your support and encouragement to keep going.

I will write more soon, till then, enjoy a selection of these photos, and have a gander through THE FLOCK ARCHIVE.

2011 - on set at the INCITATUS video shoot

2012 - on air at the BBC with Simon Price

2014 - The Bullet Within launch party, London. Katha Rothe was our drummer at the time

2015 - Hana Piranha on set at the No Mirror video shoot.

Hana has recently begun writing on her personal blog again, and you can read it here. I'm sure she would appreciate some love and comments.

2016 - Hana and me in our natural element... gothing about in the woods

2017 - on set at the Seraphim shoot.

2019 - Anna Mylee joins the band and we posed as the fates in this photo by Scott Chalmers

2020 - on set at the Razorblades video shoot, a pivotal moment for me on a deeply personal level... this song nearly broke me, I still find it hard to play it live.

2022 - The girls in the band. Smashing it at the last Brighton Birdeatsbaby show. Photo Bryan Taylor

2023 - HEX. Photo taken after the shoot by Scott Chalmers.
