Delve into the wonderful world of songwriting with your mentor, nationally respected composer and musical storyteller Paul Jarman. In this intimate and creative workshop, you will be encouraged to create and share stories and songs with new friends.   

This workshop will include an open dialogue about how we write songs. Those who have not attended this workshop in previous years are encouraged to join Paul for an optional introductory session, where he will begin to look at the elements in the songwriters’ toolbox, including the nuts and bolts of composing, melodic nuances, finding inspiration and mindset, and integrity in storytelling.  

In a collaborative and supportive environment, Paul and participants will work individually and together to craft music, drawing from personal experiences and stories. Whether or not you read music or have much experience, if you’re interested in learning more about writing your own songs, you’re encouraged to attend. Previous attendees have described the experience as uniquely special for what they’ve taken away from the two days and friends they made along the way. Participants are also welcome to bring along instruments to this workshop.   

The workshop schedule also includes a preliminary meet-and-greet session in the Singers’ Lounge with Paul and your fellow songwriters. 

Workshop numbers are strictly capped at 20 participants, so be sure to register early to avoid disappointment!

Monique looks back on their enduring partnership fondly: “Me and my mate David Bridie have been connected through music for 30 years. Making my first album, I couldn’t have asked for a better producer.” Their collaboration has been built on trust, respect, and a shared love for crafting music that resonates deeply with audiences.

Fans continue to praise their performances. One attendee from a recent show shared: “Monique’s energy is infectious, and the connection between her and David is pure magic. Their chemistry on stage makes every moment unforgettable.” Another audience member described the experience as “moving” and “full of passion,” with their live shows offering a deep sense of connection between the artists and the crowd.

This special performance will feature their timeless duets and offer intimate insights into the process of writing and producing these unforgettable songs.
