Ty Newydd: Songs and Lyric Writing Course with Stewart Henderson & Willy Russell
Mon 9 Apr 2018 to Sat 14 Apr 2018
Whether you intend writing songs aimed at the charts, to be sung at an open mic night, or to feature in a full scale musical, this six day residential course has something for you.
As this is a practical course there will be an element of very basic performance. Suitable for both wordsmiths and tunesmiths the course will offer the opportunity to work individually, collaboratively and collectively in the creation of new songs and lyrics on a daily basis. If you do play an instrument and it’s practicable to bring it along, then please do so.
