In Sound: Health

The show is a prescription for healing through song: from George Michael’s aching plea for compassion to Sault’s spiritual balm, from the raw confessions of Julien Baker and Bright Eyes to the gospel-tinged resilience of Reba McEntire and MercyMe. Whether it’s the bruised optimism of Snow Patrol, the sonic exorcism of Mary J. Blige, or the surreal tenderness of Lambchop and Julianna Barwick, each track is a step in recovery, a sonic soothing, a whispered prayer. These aren’t just songs, they’re remedies – reminders that healing rarely arrives in silence. It sings.

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.
