For the Birds

A carefully confected mix of old and new – with the reggae flavour of Busboys and Inner Circle complemented by the highlife of S.E. Rogie; Chaka Khan visiting the Great American Songbook; Brighton’s Passenger and Hasting’s ne’er- do-wells, Hotwax along with the controversial Brummies, Big Special with ‘For the Birds’ – the only playable track on the latest album. Plus new music from Sam Fender and a beautiful gospel lament from Angelique Kidjo. Not to mention ‘The Other Two’ from New Order. If this was a recipe, your grannie would have taken it with her to the grave..

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.
