Birch Trees? 

Or a solid oak of a musician, writer, director and historian hailing from Southend called Will Birch? 

We celebrate a hidden figure who appears Leonard Zelig-like amongst the succession of great bands who have sailed from the dank, dark Essex Estuary outposts like Canvey Island, Foulness, Hadleigh, Southend and Shoeburyness. 

His music threads through the show along with the regular inspired suggestions from our Facebook audience.

Published by Roy Stannard

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.
