Oxford Folk Weekend - Songwriting Workshop

In this workshop Ange Hardy will share a number of song writing techniques and practices that work for her. With a focus on techniques to break through the initial barrier of starting to write a new song and also techniques for critiquing and finishing your song. She will also introduce you to a variety of online and offline tools for song writing. With both informative and practical elements to the workshop it's very likely you'll leave with the start of a new song, or the end to an unfinished one. At the very least you will leave brimming with ideas and inspiration and a few new tools under your belt.

Bring a pen and paper if you can, and unfinished songs and instruments if you want - the focus will be primarily on themes, lyrics, structures and inspiration.

Access details: The Blue Room is at the top of a flight of stairs, and there is not currently access for wheelchair users. It's a fairly small space (holds around 50 people max) and is directly above the bar of the main pub. There will not be amplification for this event.
