B Sides and Wonders

Wonder is a powerful emotion that can evoke feelings of amazement, awe, and curiosity. It is a feeling that can be inspired by many things, from the beauty of nature to the mysteries of the universe. Music has long been a way for people to express their sense of wonder and convey their feelings to others. These songs showcase the many different aspects of this emotion, from the wonder of love and the beauty of life, to the mysteries of the universe and the power of faith.

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.
