In need of some inspiration to help you write that next song? Whether you’re a veteran songwriter or new to the practice, come along for a relaxed and creative session with a focus on lyric writing. Over the session, we will explore different exercises to spark new ideas and you’ll leave with a toolkit you can take forward in your practice.
