Over Monday and Tuesday July 5-6 at Flowerfield Arts Centre, some of the best and most experienced musicians from the music scene in Ireland are making themselves available to deliver a composition & recording workshop with a CD at the end of it.

They will teach you about song structure, how to write chords, lyrics, put it all together - and then record you performing your song. The workshops are being funded by Coleraine Borough Arts Committee.

“We’re looking for up to twenty young people to participate,” says Linley Hamilton, who will help to co-ordinate the workshops. “Singers, guitarists, those who play keyboards, bass, drums, brass, strings, anybody within the age range of 14 to 21. You don’t even have to be good!

“All we need to know is that you want to give it your best shot and have a good time; the tutors will do the rest.”

The tutors are from Making Music Workshop and please feel free to check them out:
