Breakout.

It’s the sound of chains falling away, the echo of doors swinging open. It’s the moment you realise the habits, the conventions and the parallel tracks no longer define you. Unshackling is not just a break for freedom; it’s the courage to step into the unknown, to discover the real you beneath the weight of expectation. Every song this week is a key, every lyric a Colditz tunnel, every rhythm a dive off a cliff. So let’s find out what lies beyond the map – let’s breakout.

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.
