Coolest Yule Yet

Fed up with the tired old Christmas hits? The stick in the Muds, Dire Carey, very Shaky Stevens; the less than magic Wizzard; Nat King Old and Bin Crosby?

Well, I’ve found some great seasonal tracks that don’t sound like they’ve come from Santa’s old Wurlitzer and might put a spring in the step of Donner and Blitzen. So, grab your eggnog, put on your loudest jumper, pull a cracker, find some mistletoe and murmur ‘Ding Dong’ in your best Leslie Phillips accent.

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.
