Hand me down songs

Why would a songwriter might give another artist a great song?

Collaboration maybe? The royalties? Sometimes the song suits another artist better – and, naturally, seeing a big star singing your song is a mind-blowing experience. Today, in the first hour, we’re showcasing great songwriters who selflessly gave songs I’ve playlisted to others – and in the second, hour, the same songs after they’ve been altered and washed.

In the songwriting masterclass, you don’t just take notes, you take the whole song..

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.
