In 1999, we believed attracting sponsors
& acquiring funding could prove to be a fruitless & demoralising
task for a fledgling organisation such as ours. We rightly considered
we would feel a lot happier doing what we proposed to do, rather than
wasting time & energy trying to convince potential funders that
we could do it a lot more effectively if they supported us. We know
that we made the right decision. As well as organising many events
over the last few years, NSI have provided help, encouragement, advice
& regular opportunities for new, established & aspiring songwriters,
enabling some significant personal achievements. As well as the highly
acclaimed performances by the experienced singer songwriters who have
made nsi events so great, other singer songwriters have not only enhanced
the reputation of NSI events but also taken the opportunity these
events offer to produce some outstanding personal achievements.
These include;
- Dave Teledu performing his own songs in public for the very
first time.
Dave
enjoyed the opportunity & said
"It was the first time I've performed solo in front of an audience,
and by "audience" that includes any group of people in a
house or a band rehearsal or whatever. It was a new experience indeed."
- we have invited him to contribute
a song to one of our compilation CDs & to perform at a showcase
concert later this year.
- Dave Everitt, Kev Fisher, Hetty Fitz, Warren
Volume, Dave Atkins & Mark Paulson completing
their first solo performances as singer songwriters.
- Roj, an extremely accomplished musician and highly
regarded bass player, encouraged (by nsi) to write a full set
of his own songs & perform them (on guitar) 'solo' at a nsi open
mic night & then return by popular demand to headline a NSI singer
songwriter showcase concert.
