SPAIN
I’ve just returned from a week long songwriting retreat in Spain with SPPS Songwriting Workshops & Retreats.
It was a really good trip. I met some old friends. I met some new old friends. I wrote some songs. I got bitten to death by mozzies !
There was a group of 24 writers came together from the UK, Europe and the US. We’d rented out a village in the mountains outside of Malaga. The village was a bit remote so we were relatively away from civilisation so the only thing we could do all week was write songs. Perfect.
I got 5 songs out of co-writes so now to start getting them recorded and produced and ready for release.
MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
Who am I to deny the public what they want ? 😀
One of my friends writes for an online magazine and reached out to me to ask if I’d be up for being interviewed. Naturally, being the shy, retiring type, I said yes straight away.

STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST
Read a really good book (to take my mind of flying). Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon.
It’s a simple read (result !) and contains some simple ideas that we can all adopt to help us in our songwriting. It all made perfect sense and I recommend you read this book.
