CD Launch Success
It’s amazing how good it feels when you put so much energy and time into a project, and for it to become a success. Well, this is exactly how I feel about my CD launch.
About a fortnight ago I held a concert which officially released my debut album. It was a mammoth undertaking though. I started planning for the event at least 4 months beforehand. I started to jot down all my thoughts and ideas into a little notebook. I noted all the things that I felt needed to be done for it and as I completed each task I ticked them off so that I knew what I had already done and what still needed to be seen to.
I co-ordinated the whole project independently. I was not only the performer, but the musical director, the publicist, the concert promoter, the everything! Of course, I had a whole heap of friends who so generously offer to help, so I was able to delegate tasks, particularly on the night of the launch, to ensure the smooth running of the event.
To my delight the event attracted a capacity at the charming Camelot Theatre. The night went ahead without any glitches and I think the audience really had themselves a good night – enjoying wonderful music, a theatrical performance and enjoying cool refreshments from the bar all the while.
Below are some comments from friends and happy concert-goers:
“Hi Duncan, The CD launch was brilliant & so beautifully done. You are all such talented musicians . Best Wishes for the future to you all.”
“We loved the concert! and I have been playing the CD over and over ever since. Just LOVE it!”
“It was absolutely wonderful Duncan, and I thought the theatre was the perfect setting for it! Have your cd on repeat in my car”
“We were so pleased to be there!”
“You were awesome Duncan – you always are, of course!”
“Thanks for making such an awesome space, it was inspiring”
“Thank you for the most amazing Saturday night. I am so proud of you. You are an outstanding musician, and I love your compositions. Congratulations on a fabulous night!”
“You are officially my idol now! like I said on Saturday,”probably the best concert of the year!””
“Thank you for the sweet music this eve Duncan….. it was such pleasure to close my eyes and be transported away by your music….”
