Forever Young Music Competition, conceived by Frank Resnik, is a unique ‘Over Forties’ amateur music competition and is a project aimed at showcasing the more mature amateur musician who does not necessarily have the opportunity to play live but has a passion for music and would like a musical challenge.
Most people, at some stage of their youth, learn to play a musical instrument. Many of them become very competent musicians but once they start working and ‘life catches up with them’, their instrument goes into the cupboard and stays there, not forgotten, but also not played.
Once we get into our 40’s and beyond, the urgency of building a career has often diminished and even though we would like to start playing music again, a little incentive is what is sometimes needed to get one to open the cupboard door and start practicing again.
Having put feelers out and receiving extremely positive feedback, and having hosted a few amateur music evenings at Marika’s Restaurant, it became apparent that there is a wealth of talent sitting at home, never being heard by anyone other than a few friends and family. With the staging of Forever young Music Competition 2012 at Ferryman’s Tavern in 2012 and 2013, we changed that. The competition played to full houses throughout its run and ended with a charity awards dinner.
