BORDERS BOOKS
presents a series of
Songwriting Workshops
running for 8 weeks from Thursday 6th April @ 6.30pm.

Workshops will cover various approaches to songwriting including building from melody, chords or lyrics.
Scales, chord-building and lyric-writing will be explored, although only a basic knowledge of or interest in music is necessary. A basic chord vocabulary will be developed and explored, and we’ll also examine a variety of song and lyric styles. The ability to play a musical instrument is not essential.
Andy Lang will conduct the workshops. Andy is one of the Burnsong Collective, a group of songwriters who trained with Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association as part of the Burnsong project, which commemorates the life and work of Robert Burns and is supported by the Scottish Executive and the Scottish Arts Council. See www.burnsong.com for info.
Andy’s recent album LETTERS TO JUDAS is currently available from Borders and more info can be found at www.andylang.co.uk
