International Songwriters Seminar

Chris Difford

The First International Songwriters Seminar is to be held in Hastings on April 24 and April 25 of this year. Delegates will have the unrivalled opportunity of meeting with top industry executives from both Nashville and the UK, as well as witness top songwriters such as Chris Difford and EMI Nashville's Patrick Jason Mathews perform their material acoustically and then discuss it in an intimate atmosphere in an informal Q&A session. The benefits are many, find out how to pitch and market your material from professionals who have been doing this for years, get solid legal advice, and find out what the industry in both the UK and the USA wants from writers and how you can maximize your potential directly from the people who make the decisions.

Also there are special evening events including open mic nights and showcases for new up and coming artistes/writers which will be attended by a high level music industry guest list and the press. The chances to network and meet potential collaborators as well as mangers, publishers and record companies on a one to one basis is a chance not to be missed!

The event is supported by a number of professional writers' organizations, in particular ASCAP and Sean Devine will be personally speaking at the event on ASCAP's role in the industry today as well as general publishing topics.
