EmailCome down to St Werburgh's City Farm roundhouse and write a ‘campfire song' - one that can be easily taught and sung round a campfire - in magical surroundings, as part of an intimate group of six.
During the day you'll learn about basic folk song structure, how to loop round on a theme, how to use repeatable motifs to hook the listener into the song, how to break down a story into three verses, and more. We'll also have a real campfire at the end, and sing the songs we've written.
The day is a very encouraging time, and you'll be expected to feed back on everyone else's ideas - as well as sing them at the end :)
What's Included?
- Learn basic folk song structure and storytelling techniques.
- Explore repeatable motifs and looping themes to craft catchy songs.
- Collaborate in a small, supportive group setting of six participants.
- Enjoy a real campfire to perform and sing your creations together.
