Songs from the Soul with Roy Stannard

Soul  and Gospel music gets closer than any other kind of music to an  outpouring of the sheer essence of humanity. More than any other genre  of popular American music, Soul is the result of the combination and  merging of the black experience from slavery in the 19th Century to the  ‘I can’t breathe’ cries of George Floyd.  Soul grew from two parents:  Gospel (the sacred) and Blues (the profane). Blues was a musical style  that praised the fleshly desire whereas gospel was more oriented toward  spiritual inspiration. We’ll show how the outpourings of the soul cross  oceans, peoples and cultures from Africa via Memphis to downtown Brixton.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
