Sound advice for song writers

I had the great privilege of participating in a small group workshop about song writing, hosted by Simon Austin and Angie Hart prior to Frente’s Adelaide gig of their Marvin the Album 21st anniversary tour on Friday night. I’ve delayed writing this a few days, partly to eliminate the gush factor but largely to reflect of what I feel are the most important elements to me, expressed in my own words.

A big thank you to Simon and Angie for sharing their wisdom and encouragement with us. It’s helped me seriously question the doubts I’ve been hanging on to. It’s also made me feel brave enough to extract and record the goofy little nonsense song that’s been floating around in my head and upload it as my first original song to Soundcloud.
