Last minute: June 1 deadline for Ray Davies workshop in London
Posted by admin on 27 May 2009 at 1:18 pm | Tagged as: events, news
June 1 is the deadline to apply for what looks like a great workshop. The Kinks frontman and songwriter is tutoring a week-long, residential songwriting course at Arvon Lumb Bank, UK, November 23-28th. This is a practical course for songwriters committed to producing “quality popular music” (it says here). You will write at least one song a day, either on your own or in collaboration with your fellow students. You should be able to accompany yourself on an instrument. Please send a demo of 3 or 4 songs by June 1st (by CD or MP3), with a brief informal CV of your songwriting experience. Priority will be given to those who have not previously attended one of Ray’s courses. There are 16 places available. Course fee £575 (all accommodation, food and tuition). Grants available for those on low incomes. Deadline: June 1st. Full details here.

Hello,
It seems I’m a month past the deadline, but it would be an honor to be in this class. Perhaps there’s a waiting list?
I went to Mr. Davies’ ‘Storyteller’ performance in Stockbridge, MA years back and left him a tape of my songs with a self-addressed reply and was thrilled when he wrote back with encouragement. I’ve since completed 2 CD’s; one is being released in 2 weeks.
Can you send me an address to send MP3’s or CD?
Many thanks,
JoAnne Spies
