Glock Music

The glockenspiel, whose name means “set of bells” in German, is a percussion instrument made of tuned steel bars arranged in a keyboard-like layout. It originated as a set of graduated bells in the 17th century, later evolving into the modern metallophone design. Initially played with drumsticks, the use of mallets became popular in the 19th century, coinciding with the Romantic era. The glockenspiel is known for its bright, high-pitched tone and is commonly used in orchestras, marching bands, and even popular music. To put it another way, if you include a glockenspiel, there’s probably a kitchen sink in there as well.

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.
