The Soul of the Nation

It was good to see the inclusion of a Gospel choir in yesterday’s Coronation ceremony.

It created an atmosphere of reverence and respect, while adding a touch of modernity and vibrancy.

Aside from the animated and passionate performance of the Ascension Choir, it was good to see representatives of different genders, colour and abilities present, along with members of blended families. So we are continuing to celebrate by playing music that reflects the soul of the nation, as it is today.

Transcription

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.
