Wherever I Lay My Hat

On Friday night I slept out all night in the middle of Brighton. It was just one night but at the end of it I felt wretched, cold and worthless. Yet I was doing it for one night to help the Brighton & Hove homeless charity Off The Fence raise money for the real homeless.

There were 100 of us. Shameful to think that there may three times that number sleeping rough in the streets on Brighton tonight. Here in the fifth richest nation in the world defined by GDP and 200,000 people predicted to be homeless this Christmas, this is a lament based in music.

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.
