Jamie Lawson – Wasn't Expecting That

So have you ever wanted to learn more about songwriting? How to spark ideas off and then how to turn those great ideas into great songs? To better understand the craft of songwriting and how to get better at it? Well me too!! Ha ha, however, Cork Literary Festival has gone and asked me! Jamie Lawson! to actually run a weeks workshop on songwriting at this years festival. I’m incredibly flattered and truly hope I can do it justice. If you want to attend its a weeks course, 3 hours a day between 9th and the 13th July. It’ll cost you €160 and there’ll be a gig on the thursday too where we’ll hopefully play a few of these freshly written classics! For more information head here and go to workshops. Hopefully see you in July!
