Street Gospel

This Sunday we’re taking it to the streets: where faith meets funk, where belief rides a backbeat, and where the sacred sneaks into the everyday. Street Gospel is all about the places where spirit shows up unannounced: in a brass riff, a whispered confession, a hip‑hop benediction, a choir echoing off brick walls. These are songs that praise, protest, heal, and line up to have a great time. It’s music with dust on its shoes and light in its chest. From revival‑tent shouts to candle‑lit prayers, this is belief in motion.

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.
