It's never an easy ride explained Andreas, and described how it's 20%
promotion and the rest of the 80% was up to the artists themselves. True grit
is required from an industry that's second toughest to boxing. Many of the
girls and boys had already shown determination and that little bit extra that
makes them stand out from the rest. Arriving on time and keeping appointments
was high in the Top Ten Tips.
It's hard as it is without making excuses that
your too tired or just want a lay in the morning. There will always be someone
there to take your place. Mother of three, Melita Morgan went on to say how
commitment played a key role in the entertainment industry despite being told
she was "too short, and too spotty" at the beginning of what turned out to be
a shining carrier.
Questions flew in thick and fast but the answers were slick
and professional and most of all straight to the point and honest. There are
never any promises in this game but at least Amber Productions had found a gap
to fill concerning much needed advice and direction for would-be rising stars
across our region. World Press was there to cover the Greek Connection and
The Constantia Brother's hot new releases.
An exclusive airing of music tracks
that are being released by major label Carlin Music and had flown over to
Athens with a BBC Team created quite a stir. The film tracks had been penned
by Constantia Brother's Bouzouki impresario and MD with CBM Music, Yaz who is
now listed as one of UK'S Top song writers at BACS. surprise guest Greek
Songbird Leonarda flew over from Athens (A prime example of determination)
and was present at the launch ready to sing an Olympic vocal on top of Yaz's
track the very next day. Rock Band The Cloudminders also showcased their songs, Sing To The Sun and
Tomorrow. The Band was snapped up a couple of years ago by Andreas Yiasimi
after a spate of successful competion wins across East Anglia.
A relentless line of interviews, gigs and visits to major record companies had been arranged. The real work for the boys is just round the corner.
The announcement that Ex detective John Peverill who was struck down with
Parkinson's disease had won the Amber Music Productions Award Of Achievement
for his Song Writing caused great emotion throughout the ballroom. As he
walked up to receive his much deserved award his song "I want To Live Again"
along with another by Mr Peverill called Gentle Kiss," recorded by well-known
local Spider Murphy Duo Ron and Charlotte Sayer left everyone with an
appreciative stunned silence.
Jazz Star Salena Jones had travelled to our Norfolk Studios to
record the song "I Want To Live Again" and has already proved extremely popular with local Radio Play. John is in talks with London Record Labels concerning distribution for this charity record that's aimed to raise much needed cash for this crippling disorder. Amber Music Productions had moved in to give Studio time and any advice needed.
A Special Thanks was made to the abundance of Sponsors that have helped Amber
Productions throughout the years and it was so refreshing to see that most of
them were local. From Clothes to Beautiful Norfolk Locations for those
extravagant photo shoots.
Media and Film Companies had an understandably lengthy mention especially NRG Film Productions and the established Nick Clarke of PSE Production Services in Norwich whom is already working with one or two Amber Models.
The event ended with a licence to photograph and interview various members
from the array of talent that was present, proving once more Norfolk can
compete with the rest of this dazzling rising talent that makes an important
jigsaw piece to what is our UK'S Entertainment's Industry.
