Where do songs come from? Where do they go? Can anyone tell me? Does anyone know?
Join singer-songwriter Dan Collins for an in-depth workshop on the mysterious art of songwriting with particular reference to the music of Science-Fiction.
During the 90 minute session we will discuss techniques that you can use in your creative practice and examine songs written by Dan for his hit show Dune! The Musical.
This workshop is open to anyone who is musically inclined; whether you are a beginner or an old hand, everyone wants to write better songs and by the end of the class your head will be full of ideas and inspiration.
Your Workshop Leader
Dan Collins is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, comedian, playwright and clown. At last year's Cymera festival he debuted his one-man show Dune! The Musical which retells the titular sci-fi classic with the aid of 15 original songs which borrow from a number of influences and genres.
His repertoire includes ballads, anthems, ditties and bops, and he is most at home behind a short-scale guitar and almost always uses standard tuning.
