Daniel Firth

We are proud to have a beautiful and rare @DanFirthMusic @SchecterGuitars, bassist of the mighty @CradleofFilth The member of staff writing this saw Dan play all of Cruelty And The Beast on this instrument at @LondonPalladium and the band sounded killer. shorturl.at/owyD2

@annienyhc He sometimes tolerates a belly rub. I'll give him one when he finally comes home from his morning patrol!

@DanFirthMusic Please tell me he loves belly rubs, give him one for me please, if not, a nose boop will do!

It's Kawa's birthday today! What a good miniature pantera he is. #cat #cats #catsofinstagram

It's been quite a week! Three gigs, three different countries, and lots of travel. Tonight's show with the good people of @massaokeglas was especially sweaty, but lots of fun, as always. Time to relax now and have a beer with the cat! #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #mainecoon #beer

Getting set up to play with @massaokeglas tonight. First gig with the @SchecterGuitars C-1 E/A, currently looking lovely in its natural environment! #massaoke #massaokescotland #schecter #schecterguitars #mooer #mooeraudio #newtone #newtonestrings #fishman #fishmanpickups

Great times at @GraspopMetal last night! It was a real buzz seeing the sea of faces in the tent for our show, and I had a blast on stage. Time to start the journey home now. 🚌 🛫 #cradleoffilth

Don't you hate it when you're trying to play a gig and an infernal vortex opens up behind you? I mean, come on. 📸 @SethAbrikoos #cradleoffilth #schecter #schecterguitars #darkglass #darkglasselectronics #newtone #newtonestrings #mooer #fishman #dslstraps #bass #metal

I went for a quick wander around Leeuwarden last night before our performance at Into the Grave fest. What a nice place! #cradleoffilth #intothegrave #intothegravefestival #leeuwarden

Waiting on a hotel shuttle, enjoying the little shade my Enki case can provide. The woman at immigration didn't even bat an eyelid when I replied 'Into the Grave' after she asked which festival I was off to. To be fair, I might actually end up dead in this heat.

This weekend @CradleofFilth are descending on Into the Grave fest in the Netherlands, and I'm champing at the bit! 📸 @annienyhc #cradleoffilth #schecter #schecterguitars #dslstraps #mooer #darkglass #newtone #newtonestrings #fishman #intothegrave

I had lots of fun trying out the new SD30i amp from @mooeraudio last night. Super easy to dial in a great tone, nice and loud, and so many modern features I barely even scratched the surface. One of the coolest things has to be the portability, with a five hour battery life!

@BigCheggus @MooerAudio @Darkglassgear @SchecterGuitars @Fishman_Music @NewtoneStrings @CradleofFilth That did truly suck.

@DanFirthMusic @MooerAudio @Darkglassgear @SchecterGuitars @Fishman_Music @NewtoneStrings @CradleofFilth awww man, I only caught the end :( ; wish the venue didn't have a curfew and cut you short :(

@DaftLimmy Yeah, I used to play brass in primary school, and seem to remember it being played by folk on occasion. Also remember it being in The Full Monty. I'm barely under 40 though.

Throwback to twelve whole days ago in Las Vegas, at the first festival of the season. Looking forward to more such outings in the coming weeks and months! 📸 @anabeldflux (IG) #cradleoffilth #schecter #schecterguitars

Cheers to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today!

Feeling a bit worn out after last night's Fit to Work gig, due to some early birthday drinks and jumping in the pit for @EndlessSwarm (it's been a while, and I'm not as supple as I used to be). So today I've mostly been drinking tea and chilling with the cats.
