Dearest Demons,
How was your Christmas? Did you survive the New Years Party?
Was it good or are you just happy it's done for another year? Tell me your news.
I am splendid.
I'm currently floating on a pink-fluffy-cloud of creativity, excitement and good vibes right now.
I seem to have entered this year on a bit of a high... which isn't like me at all.
I usually shrink from January and hide away from the dark of winter, feeling rubbish until Spring has sprung and I can poke my head out.
What's going on then?
Is it because I kept up my exercise routine through the holiday?
Is it because I just have a lot of really good things to focus on?
Is it I'm just bipolar and really high right now? 😂
Whatever it is, I'm feeling gooooood. And I hope you are all doing well too.
Here we go with my first Patreon Blog of the year... dig in.

Yes! Jonny Peril and I are back with a brand new song this month.
A beautiful piano and vocal duet called Not Your Light, a song about co-dependency and avoiding toxic relationships when you're in recovery.
Jonny has written some beautiful lyrics and I've arranged the pianos - it's got a gospel feel with Nick Cave vibes, I think you're gonna love it.

I've decided this January to make a public livestream to show those who aren't on Patreon what they're missing. I hope that's alright with you guys?
I figured you won't mind the extra crowd and it'll be fun to do a public gig as it's been ages.
Put the date 24th Jan 7.30pm in your diary!
I shall say no more on my mystery guest till later this month... here's the links to save:
By request! I've finally got round to doing it. This is one of my FAVOURITE SONGS EVER.
Lamb of God have such a huge space in my heart - especially since I found out years after listening to them that Randy Blythe is sober and this song is about his battle with alcoholism.
It's also going to be a massive challenge. The odd death growl/fry here and there is ok but this song is immense and Randy's voice is unparalleled in might and tone.
If you want to follow my metal vocal progress you can follow me on instagram here.
I'll see how I get on but it'll be fun either way!

December was busy. Matas is hard at work editing a beautiful vlog for you all, it's going to be tasty so watch out for that in a few days time....
And finally, enjoy the snaps from December below. They include pugs, Christmas hats, coffins, witches, Zelda and the absolute filth that we eat during rehearsals. Enjoy.
I'll be back in a few days time with more news, music and hyper-activity soon.
Love & Feathers,
