SONG-WRITING COURSE AT FSS WITH SHAUN T HUNTER
Following on from the successful taster song writing session Factory Street welcome back Shaun Hunter with a 4 part workshop which will aim to be inspiring and creative to enable songwriters to work on your song writing skills and help guide you through temporary blocks.
Shaun's unique song writing vision and wonderful live performances has resulted in a deal working closely with Steven Machat, he of the New York based company Machat & Machat, who have managed Leonard Cohen & Phil Spector and more recently artists such as Seal and Peter Gabriel. Machat was one of the original founders of the WOMAD festival.
The four sessions will focus on...
1) lyrics and melody plus opening up yourself to all possibilities so the song writing process can begin, overview and philosophy of song writing. projecting and ably connecting with your voice.
2) chord structures/voicing’s/alternate tunings. performance tips for live work and reducing stress and anxiety in the studio and recording process.
3) magic starting points/structure, styles of writing, looking at the way different writers approach their work from Leonard Cohen to Radiohead....what makes a great song?
4) finalising, witnessing all the groups creations, intensive Q&A session on anything that remains unanswered!
This isn't an exclusive or exhaustive list, Shaun believes in the elements of spontaneity within any workshop and song writing particularly is an accepted form of alchemy, hence observations questions or queries will be allowed to flourish for sections within the framework of each of the 4 sessions.

Time: 2pm-5pm
When: May 21st / May 22nd / July 2nd / July 3rd
