The Quiet Riot

Not all secrets are shadowy whispers or locked-away regrets. Some are quiet dreams, tucked beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to bloom. The Quiet Riot is a sonic celebration of those hidden hopes – the confessions, the coded lyrics, the unspoken longings – that pulse beneath the noise. Because sometimes, the things we don’t say out loud are the very things that guide us toward joy, connection, and unexpected hope. This is where silence gets loud, and secrets sing.

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.
