Sometimes wandering through the sun bleached bones of musical former glories we hear the mewling of new born artists. This week, we introduce you to Cardiff lyrical post punks Slate and their muse, the Welsh poet RS Thomas; the new Nubiyan Twist single with Fela Kuti’s heir Seun Kuti. Brighton based Fari Chiketa has given us exclusive access to her new single ‘Light’ and new Indie band Courting open the show. Plus new releases from Richard Hawley and Ed Harcourt; a time when Billy Bragg and Jonny Marr made great music together and a new version of ‘Alone Again Or; by Love – plus at the end, one of the most beautiful songs of all time that you won’t have heard before. Some lost – and some found immortals.

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.
