After a really fun night in Newport last night, from next Saturday Adfeilion will be playing 4 gigs within 8 days across 4 cities in 3 constituent countries of the UK, including our first trip to Northern Ireland at all for some of us (myself included). Going to be a mad week! tinyurl.com/Adfeilion

Our new paper on the evolution of sociality in cat-like carnivores is out today in @jzoology.bsky.social. This resulted from Izzy Scully's Mres project investigating the factors that might facilitate sociality and its long-term consequences. zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

What a great few days. Our recent paper on snakebite prevention and cultural context in Uganda also got the cover (www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/18...), and on Saturday Adfeilion played at the Swansea Arena and also released the first single from our upcoming live album (open.spotify.com/track/10UsBW...)

At long last our first research publication from our work on snakebite prevention in rural Southwest Uganda is finally out! Difficult to squeeze as much in as we wanted as we had loads of info from this study (more papers to come to add to supplementary material here). www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/18...

With increasing UK herpetological interest in the concept of rewilding (a common term but one I personally dislike as its meanings are so varied that it's unhelpful at best), The British Herpetological Society have just released a position statement on translocations: www.thebhs.org/news/bhs-pos...

Adfeilion are bringing our unique blend of instrumental, atmospheric, Celtic post-folk metal to Swansea Arena. If you want to know what that sounds like check out our Spotify, then come join us. Nice to see the Arena advertising the event with one of our songs too www.facebook.com/share/r/182h...

Jamie Panton, our videographer for the Sanctuary music video has written up a nice blog piece on the experience of blending Welsh folklore, Celtic melodies, and breathtaking landscapes into a cinematic video: jamiepanton.co.uk/2026/01/07/s...

Final post from Adfeilion to sum up our incredible year as 2025 comes to a close. Looking forward to 2026, with a live album release, a new studio album being written to record in March-April, and 23 confirmed gigs across Britain and Ireland. Long may this continue! www.facebook.com/share/v/1RjX...

Finally bitten the bullet and joined Bluesky after months of getting nothing from Twitter. I have tried to use an importer tool to find anyone on here who I followed on Twitter, but I'm sure it will have missed people so please feel free to follow if you are one of those missed.
