Writing and Researching songs about NZ History

Type

Date

Workshop

Date TBC

Writing songs is a very personal thing, but Cam and Chris will give you a few ideas on what works for them particularly when writing about our History.
Chris will give a few ideas on how to go hunting for particular stories about characters from the distant past, plus a few ideas on using capos to get a different and original sound.
Cam will speak to how journalism has helped inform his approach to interpreting some of the stories and characters that so richly pepper our history, and to how we have a very rich vein of stories of our own - which are all there for would-be songwriters.
