Workshop takes place from 2pm - 6pm.
This masterclass with RTE Folk Awards 'Album of The Year 2024' recipient and Meteor award winning songwriter John Spillane will get to the heart of song writing and storytelling. John will focus on helping participants lose whatever inhibitions and fears they may have about writing songs while also sharing tricks of the trade on verse, chorus, repetition and rhyme. Songwriters should be prepared to sing and embrace the joy of the process.
“At my songwriting workshops we actually write songs. Having attended a few workshops where the participants play their songs to be criticised by experts who talk down to them, I was inspired to invent a novel approach, where we all sit down and write finished songs in one session. This teaches many lessons, including finishing things, which is often a big problem for writers. I create a space where all negativity, all criticism and judgment are locked outside.”
