2023 has been a very strange year.

Plenty of highs and far too many lows on a personal level. Here’s hoping the latter are passed.

It was also quite a year for variety, as I expanded the opportunities to play with other performers and unquestionably grew and learned from that.

Perhaps it was a bit distracting though.

So 2024 is resolved (so far, ha!) to be a back-in-the-saddle year for Félix & the Cats. The last month or so have been dedicated to gear upgrades and rationalizations. The voice lessons with the awesome Jaclyn Serre are starting to pay off too. A bit more commitment to getting the word out (yes we have stickers – thanks to Simon Quayle) and hustling gigs are also on the radar, as is a recommitment to this blog.

Oh, and I grew a beard.
