Music; Ambrosia Of Immortality Connecting Us All

About Me

Ben Roberts is a Registered Nurse in Cardiology at Gosford Hospital. After finishing a Critical Care Rotation he is now looking to follow his overwhelming drive and passion for music. After Leaving Acoustic Jam Sessions Ben has recently Registered 'Live and Original' as of December, 2006 in which aims to support, nurture and un-earth Live, Local and Original talent on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia. Live and Original aims to be one of the most powerful organisational tools for promoting and unearthing local talent providing exposure @ Live gigs, radio, concerts, festivals, radio and pre-booked Open Acoustic Sessions. It aims to provide the platforms needed for performing artists to be appreciated by a large audience and gain the recognition they deserve. 'I aspire to connect with, inspire, motivate & assist people in need and believe in always keeping an open mind to all ideas, people, matter and ways of life. I also believe in the balance between nature and nurture, the spiritual world, ambrosia of immortality, choosing ones own destiny and have learnt not to stand back & wait for opportunities to come to me. Self belief, self confidence and to live without fear is paramount. Its important to always be empathetic of others feelings, needs, background and purpose. Love your neighbour, always dig deep for forgiveness and listen (not just wait for your turn to speak). Accepting your weaknesses, regardless of their nature, and stepping up to and combating them is one of the greatest achievements. Love whole heartedly & learn to laugh with others. My music aims to reflect love, optimism, hope, belief, life experience, human interaction & connection. Music is self expression, wisdom & the balance & connection between body, mind & soul.Ben Roberts Live @ the Buddha Bar DVD and CD Set Now Available.IncludesBoth Cd and DVD of the Live Recording, 5 Originals Songs, Multiple Camera Angles, Song Selection, Biography, Photo Slideshow.Cd and DVD Set $12 @ gigs or in person, $15 Including Postage & Handling.If interested please post comment or email me @ [email protected].
