Event information

Lorraine Lucas Productions is proud to present our 7th annual Folkestone Songwriting Festival 2023 programme of events.
As well as the tutor team of leading songwriters and musicians hosting the 4 hands on workshops ...Michele Stodart ( The Magic Numbers), Blair Dunlop, Findlay Napier and Sophia Stutchbury and opening the weekends frivolities on Friday afternoon for the early birds we offer a guitar masterclass from Sam Dunn and singing workshops from Nina Clark at The Brewery Tap Project Space.
All of the events are only a few minutes walk from each other and in the heart of the seafront Creative Quarter part of the town.
Friday evening students get together and jam is a brand new addition which gives you an opportunity to meet each other, share a meal at The Lighthouse Tasting Rooms on The Harbour Arm which overlooks the English Channel ( on a clear evening you can see the lights of France) and an Open Stage where you can play us a few of your tunes or sit and listen.
Saturday and Sunday we have the core part of the festival - the creative workshops which are held in 4 venues by the 4 tutors accommodate the 32 participating songwriting students in small groups ( 4 x 8 of mixed ability).
For those who are new to workshops there is plenty of one to one time with your tutor and remember that everyone has had their own first time and whether you are a pro with loads of writing experience or a storyteller who is embarking on developing your ideas you will be looked after.
For anyone who may need some additional support whether you are neurodivergent, a bit anxious or have other access needs we have songwriting support tutors to help you ease in.
If you require some access support drop me a message at
Info@folkestonesongwritingfestival.co.uk and we can have a chat.
Saturday night is another social opportunity with a Meet The Tutors In The Round concert where you can relax and let the tutors sweat a bit as they perform with their fellow coaches and on Sunday morning we have an optional sunrise restorative beach gathering Singing Circle session led by ILa Sebastian from London Contemporary Voices and a sea swim led by swimming coach Kirsty Hogben to get us in the zone for the days workshops.
All workshops, masterclasses, concerts gatherings are inclusive .
