Area 51, room CG.19, C block, Harrow Campus
Songwriter’s circles began in Nashville, bringing together artists, songwriters, and producers to perform their songs and share the stories and inspirations behind them.
This events offers a wonderful opportunity to showcase and discuss new, existing, or work-in-progress material, or simply to enjoy each other’s music. Showcasing material is not compulsory; it is still a great way to connect and network with others. Whether you're a songwriter/producer/musician seeking collaborations, an entrepreneur scouting for talent, or just someone who loves original music, songwriter’s circles provide a valuable platform for connection and creativity.
If you would like to take part in this, please complete this form (you can perform or play a track).
