Chartless (Pt III 2019 – 2025 + rare bonus gems)

This week:  Chartless — the concluding chapter in our trilogy of musical misfits and near-hits. Following Uncharted and Beyond the Chart, this final instalment shines a spotlight on the best non-Top 30 tracks from 2019 to 2025. These are the songs that slipped past the algorithms, dodged the playlists, and danced just outside the spotlight. Plus a few bonus tracks from earlier years that we simply couldn’t leave behind. Music that was chartless – but never voiceless.

Tune in to discover what the charts missed but your ears won’t forget.

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.
