Back to the Garden

From Eden to Gethsemane to Babylon to Kew Gardens, gardens are places of beauty, shelter and reflection. Music that wants to take us back to a time when the land was unspoilt, trees flourished and the soil was free from chemicals. The garden is a metaphor for peace and tranquillity, dating from the Garden of Eden where purity reigned until self-interest snaked in.

Joni Mitchell urges us to get back to garden. For Van Morrison the garden is a mystical, sacred place and before her death Dolores O’Riordan saw the garden as refuge from depression.

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.
