Tonight, we remember Mandy Rollins.

Early last month news reached me that Sydney DJ and event promoter, Mandy Rollins, was missing. It is believed that she took her own life on 4th September 2010.

I was mates with Mandy when she lived in Brisbane in the early 90s. We shopped and swapped tunes. We DJ’d together at Damnation. She DJ’d for me at my Joy parties. She was a gorgeous girl with a beautiful spirit.

I lost touch with Mandy when she left Brisbane but I was so proud of her when she played her first Sleaze Ball in 96 and gradually made a name for herself for her fine DJing and became a legend in the underground scene.

So where ever you are Mandy Rollins, thank you for bringing so much joy into my life mate. You will always shine on in my heart.

If you’re struggling with life or feeling depressed, pick up the phone. There are people who will listen and help you move through the difficult times.
