Moniack Mhor: Songwriting With Boo Hewerdine and Findlay Napier
Mon 7 Dec 2020 to Sat 12 Dec 2020
Songs in the Key of Life. Findlay Napier and Boo Hewerdine write songs from observations and real life experience. During this week long course, you too, can learn the power of turning narrative into song.

You’ll spend the week with these two storytellers, honing your writing skills, starting from the very basics to well-crafted, finished pieces. Joining us as our special guest will be Americana Awards singer of the year Emily Barker whose recent album Sweet Kind Of Blue is a beautiful example of this area of work.

Boo Hewerdine is a singer-songwriter and experienced tutor. He has written songs for Eddi Reader, k.d. lang, Chris Difford and many others. His latest album Before was released to great acclaim in 2019.

Findlay Napier is one of the finest singer songwriters and teaching artists in Scotland. As a teacher Findlay has run songwriting retreats at Moniack Mhor with Karine Polwart and in 2016 he set up the workshop-focused Glasgow Songwriting Festival.

Guest: Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter.
