This will be the 5 London Song Company Summer School LINK TO EVENT
The dates are Thurs 24th July 4.30 pm to sunday 27th July 4.30pm
From Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon focus will be on the process of songwriting and encouraging really useful practices as well as creative new ways into getting inspiration in and songs out. You will write new songs, and there will also be several Song Clinics – small groups of songwriters sharing their songs with a professional songwriter and receiving feedback.
It will be held in Devon at a fantastic location called Seale Hayne, near Newton TQ12 6NQ. If you need lifts to or from the station we will organise that for you.

All levels of songwriters are welcomed and supported appropriately.

– take part in group workshops & exercises

– eat delicious lunches, evening meals, barbecue
– soak up some sunshine (well…there was sunshine last year!)
