✨Living in Beautiful Feelings

ELEVATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE
There’s a huge difference between being alone and feeling lonely.
Lonely is a thought.
Being alone is beautiful space.
Space in which to reflect.
To hear what’s underneath the noise and allow new possibility to emerge.
Problems don’t solve themselves when you’re lost in them.
They dissolve when you see them for what they are—thought in form—and allow space for new answers to come to the forefront.
Your answers don’t live in the noise.
They live in the potential beyond it.

A few days ago I had a life-changing insight:
My dad would’ve been 75 today.
For most of my life, I thought my sense of security was tied to him — his presence, his strength, just knowing he was there.
But the truth was that even when he was alive, I sometimes felt insecure, and now that he’s gone, I still sometimes feel secure. And sometimes not.
It pointed me to something deeper:
Our sense of security doesn’t come from other people.
It doesn’t come from our circumstances.
It comes from within—moment to moment—through Thought.
If you’ve ever felt insecure or like the ground’s been pulled out from under you, I hope this points you back to the truth within you, waiting to be revealed.
Much Love,

🔥 Emotions are not a problem.
What if they never were?
What if you could have any experience—rage, fear, hopelessness—and it passed through like weather, without knocking you off balance?
That’s my reality now.
But it wasn’t always.
I used to feel anxious, burnt out, and at times so low I couldn’t see a way out.
I genuinely didn’t want to be here.
But all of that—every spiral, every dark day—was made of thought.
And when I saw that… everything changed.
I didn’t “fix” myself.
I remembered who I was.
That’s what I share in Back To Clarity—my course for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in their head, lost in emotion, or like they’re not themselves anymore.
It’s not about bypassing pain.
It’s about waking up to the peace, wisdom and clarity that were never gone—just hidden beneath the noise.
This is the space that saved my life.
And it’s available to you too.

🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE
The Drummer, The Dreamer, and The Divine
Some reflections from the recent Hugh Cornwell EU tour I did—and how I’ve gone from struggling with the ups and downs of life to navigating them with way more clarity and peace (while still taking action on what matters).
It’s real, raw, beautiful, and practical.
Would love to hear what lands.

🥁JUST DROPPED: EXCELSIOR BASICS 🥁
After years of touring, recording, and teaching — I’ve just re-released Excelsior Basics, my drumming fundamentals course.
It’s over 5 hours of crystal-clear, practical, no-fluff instruction — everything I wish I’d known starting out.
🎯 Solid hand & foot technique
🎧 Musical grooves, fills & rudiments
🥁 Setup, tuning, mindset & more
📈 Progress rooted in real-world experience
If you’re just starting drums — or you’ve been playing a while and want a proper refresh — this course will lock in the foundations that make everything else easier, smoother, more powerful.
I created this during lockdown to give aspiring drummers a serious edge — not just ‘drum lessons’, but a real musical toolkit.
It’s now available at the earlybird price of just £39.
I don’t know how long I’ll keep it that low.
👉🏽 Get it here: windsormcgilvray.gumroad.com/l/bahtm
Let’s build your drumming from the ground up — properly.
To your having a blast mastering the basics. 🙏

The Hugh Cornwell Band 2025 EU tour is a wrap!
5 weeks.
8 countries.
18 shows.
Planes, trains, and automobiles.
New cities, new stories, new stickers for the suitcase.
Highs, lows, and the magic of live music every night. ✨
I’m deeply grateful to Hugh, Pat, Phil, Paul, the crew and every single one of you who came along for the ride. 🙏
As I see it, touring is always a chance to see the world, but more than that, it’s a mirror—
Wherever you go, you meet yourself again and again.
And if you’re lucky, you see something deeper.
This tour, something unexpected happened:
In hotel rooms, backstage, on long bus rides, I followed an impulse to create something new, and what emerged was a course called Back to Clarity—born straight from what’s kept me grounded through years of music, anxiety, burnout, and bouncing back.
It’s not just for musicians.
It’s for anyone navigating the noise of their own mind.
And it’s the clearest thing I’ve ever made about how I find peace and balance—on stage and off.
If that speaks to you, I’d love you to check it out:
windsormcgilvray.gumroad.com/l/ksfiq
(Intro price: $27 – lifetime access)
Festival season next: Stone Valley South, Glastonbury, Rebellion and more…
Then the “Come and Get Some Tour” this November, performing the Hugh Cornwell/Robert Williams album “Nosferatu” live for the first time ever.
For now, just gratitude, and a bit of rest before the next count-in.
Much love,
xWx

Granada tonight — and great to be back on my own rig. Rental gear has its place, but there’s nothing like the feel of home under the sticks. ✨🥁✨
