Russell Crowe Inspiring Young Musicians... Meg Doherty Part One (58/365)

One of the reasons I love writing my blog is that I love reading the stories shared between the artists and musicians I am interested in and their fans although I am often called a troll for doing so.

This time it is Russell Crowe. Everybody who follows Russell on social media, especially his official Twitter account knows about his love of music and sharing the creativity of young artists and musicians he comes across with this followers.

Many of the really nice social media stories like this one I read are not shared in the traditional media. So I decided to publish this one here. 

Last year I wrote a post titled 'Russell Crowe And Alan Doyle Help Out A Fan' published on 14 June, 2017 about Russell Crowe and Alan Doyle inspiring a young fan and musician Meg Doherty by providing constructive feedback on her music and even purchasing albums and songs. I have copied the post below for those fans interested.

Recently Meg produced a new song 'Ana' and shared the recording via YouTube and Russell Crowe's official Twitter account. Again Russell Crowe provided positive feedback and encouragement and led the charge to purchased the song. This gesture is a totally awesome thing to do. And what a great Christmas present for any young creative person. Alan Doyle also provided constructive feedback and shared the YouTube music video via his official Twitter account.

I have enclosed a screen shot of Russell's kind and encouraging tweets to Meg. They are from the official Russell Crowe Twitter account. I have circulated a copy of Meg's song 'Ana' on my Google + page for those fans interest. The song is totally awesome. 






Russell Crowe And Alan Doyle Help Out A Fan...14 June 2017

A lot has been said by Russell Crowe on Twitter…

It is well documented Russell has used the social media platform to share his love of his family (his children), his interests such as South Sydney Rabbitohs, love of travelling and music, maintain contact with and support his friend’s work, promote causes close to heart, defend himself when attacked by the traditional media, to deny their persistent rumours and to promote his work both in the movies and music. Many of his tweets have been sensationalised by the gossip and traditional news and a lot of it negative.

Many of the positive things Russell does on Twitter are overlooked by the traditional media as they are probably not considered ‘news worthy’. Twitter remains the way Russell prefers to connect with fans. Russell has created a fictional village which promotes love and kindness where many of the fans have connected and made friends on social media. Many of the fans have met in real life and become friends at Indoor Garden Party concerts and Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Gypsies' concerts around the world. Russell’s tweets over the years have made many fans very happy such as wishing them a happy birthday or all the best for some event important in their lives. Russell has also made others miserable as they have been ridiculed and blocked in front of millions of followers over some of their comments.

On many occasions Russell has provided fans with constructive feedback (both negative and positive) and encouragement on their creative endeavours. Over the years a young English fan Meg Doherty has attended concerts in London and contacted Russell and his friend and music partner Alan Doyle for music advice which they kindly provided with much encouragement. Recently Meg recorded some songs on an album called Northern Girl and again contacted them for advice.

Not only did both Russell and Alan provide constructive and encouraging advice they both lead the charge to buy Meg’s album which they promoted via Twitter. I just thought this was a really awesome gesture. As I have said before many of the positive things Russell does on Twitter are overlooked by the traditional media as they are probably not considered ‘news worthy’ so I wanted to put a copy here. I have provided a link to Meg Doherty’s Twitter feed and shared a video of a song on my Google + page. I would like to wish Meg all the best in her music career.
