Aliens

This week we play songs written to explore the plight, the fights, the heartache and the sheer will to live of refugees. As they arrive in dinghies, via country-long treks across deserts, seas and mountains, avoiding patrol boats, barricades and presidential diktats the hope is that they will hear some of this music and know that many in the artistic community understand their quest for freedom and life. Lots of artists have been inspired to write about this journey and this week we play songs in this vein by Bob Dylan, U2, Coldplay, Embrace, Passenger, Elbow, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Paloma Faith and many more. Come and listen to songs for a new world.

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.
