Best of 2024 So Far

In 2024, in just a few weeks, amidst the sea of mainstream hits, several alternative and unrecognized songs have clambered out of the slippery-sided well of formulaic people-pleasers, to ear worm their way into my consciousness and car pod listening. These songs, for the most part ignored, showcase the depth and diversity of talent within the alternative music scene happening all around us right now. Ex Coral member Bill Ryder-Jones has produced the album of the year so far in Lechyd Da and is playing at The Chalk in Brighton this Tuesday. I’ll be there..

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.
