Bowes Park Month of Folk: Exploring songwriting with Phil Cooper

Have you ever wondered how a song is born? There’s a magic to it that remains mysterious even to the most experienced songwriter. In “Exploring Songwriting”, singer-songwriter Phil Cooper presents an evening of live music and spoken word, exploring the art of songwriting. Through stories and examples he explains how a song can come into existence within a matter of minutes, and how some songs can take years to perfect. He demonstrates some of his own approaches and methods, in an accessible, interesting and entertaining manner. If you’re fascinated by music there’s loads here for you, regardless of whether you write music yourself.
