| Success Favours the Brave |
| Written by Brian James | |
Thirty-something Mandy Hall is quiet, modest and gutsy. She's the country's top music photographer. She's also a 'web wizard'. Her dad John is a drummer (of 50+ years). Mandy loves instrumental music, so she decided to invite Australia's top instrumental groups to Melbourne for Instromania recently. Mandy had never promoted a gig before. She bravely took a chance and trusted that she would learn along the way. I happily arranged some publicity. She arranged everything else and pulled off the gig. Standing room only. A howling success. Instromania featured legendary lead guitarist Martin Cilia, from Sydney. Ben Rogers 'Tarantino' style guitar riffs were upfront with his group Instrumental Asylum. Mandy's dad John, drummed with the Venturas.    The whole event was a success because of Mandy's bravery and trust. She also followed her heart and didn't think too much. She just did! Sometimes we don't have to know exactly how things will work out. We bite off more than we can chew and chew like mad. Often the Universe supports us. And if you meet a quiet person, get to know them. It may take a little time, but here's more to them than we might initially think. Sometimes they are capable of wild, crazy things, quietly. www.pixels-bandwidth.com www.martincilia.com www.blazz.com.au |
