The Best Tracks of 2021

In no particular order, I have selected the 22 tracks that have made the most impression on me over the year. Very few of them were big hits – but I don’t think that’s because my taste in music is misdirected or faulty. The more likely answer is that these tracks don’t fit into the commercial formula that record companies and streaming services like to lay down.

As we look forward to a New Year, the fact that you can listen to these songs is another reason why local and community radio must be preserved. If you haven’t heard it, you won’t know how much you love it.

Instant credibility at hip New Year’s parties..

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.
