Songwriting workshops at Pennard House in Somerset are always so inspiring, and even now in our 30th year the songwriting weeks just seem to get better and better.
As a retreat attendee, you will get to work with like-minded creatives, co-writing in the most beautiful surroundings, with performances in the evening of all the songs written that day.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all supplied by the wonderful in-house catering team, so all you will need to bring is a sharp pencil, a guitar or keyboard, and some boots for walking.
Each year I run three amazing retreats, one in February for aspiring songwriters, one in March in collaboration with the Help Musicians Charity and another in June with either The Buddy Holly Foundation or BMI.
The Chris Difford Songwriting Retreats (CDSR) are well known within the industry as one of the most inspirational and creative retreats around. They have been attended by a multitude of successful songwriters from Victoria Canal, Christina Perri, Yungblud, Rachel Chinouriri, Amy Wadge, Sam Ryder, Beth Nielson Chapman, Mark Nevin, Graham Gouldman, Jamie Hartman, and so many more.
As the retreats are now so in demand, we are looking to add more throughout the year. If you are interested in attending, you will need to send us an email at songwriting25@icloud.com remembering to include links to your music and social media accounts. We listen to every submission and will look forward to hearing from you.
