SONGWRITERS CIRCLE  (monthly)

An informal group for songwriters to come together once a month to share new songs and encourage creativity.  

 

Sessions are held on the 4th Thursday of every month.

​

Entrance fee £3 (to cover the cost of room hire). 

​

  • Feel supported by like minded people to finish those half written songs that have hung around for too long

  • Share insights and suggestions

  • Get to know the people and the stories behind the songs

  • Find the inspiration to write new material

  • Trial your songs in a friendly, nurturing, non-judgemental & relaxed setting

  • Link in to our series of optional workshops on all aspects of the songwriting, recording and performing craft

​

Your songwriting circle hosts are:

​

Holly Green is a songwriter and a storyteller who morphs between live music, storytelling and poetry. Holly has a Masters in Songwriting: her love for and research into storytelling as part of her thesis has led her to work in that tender cross over between a story sung and a story told.   more.....

​

Chris Bullen began his career as a recording engineer and went on to compose and produce soundtracks for video and film. He continues to write songs and perform in rock and folk bands.  more....

​
