Events
Green Note is proud to be hosting a free songwriting workshop for young people aged 16-25, in collaboration with Moniack Mhor.
This nurturing workshop will focus on form, melody, lyric and every element that’s involved in making a song. You can be working at any level and no experience is necessary. You don’t need to play an instrument. So whether you are a complete beginner or already writing and performing your own songs, we would like to welcome you to join our two tutors – Michele Stodart and Boo Hewerdine – both world-renowned singer-songwriters, on Mon 4th August for what promises to be a really enjoyable afternoon.
The workshop will take place in Green Note in London, 1pm – 5pm.
Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so please sign up in advance here.
