Event information

Have you ever wondered how a song is born? There’s a magic to it that remains mysterious even to the most experienced songwriter. In “Exploring Songwriting”, singer-songwriter Phil Cooper presents an evening of live music and spoken word, exploring the art of songwriting. Through stories and examples he explains how a song can come into existence within a matter of minutes, and how some songs can take years to perfect. He demonstrates some of his own approaches and methods, in an accessible, interesting and entertaining manner. If you’re fascinated by music there’s loads here for you, regardless of whether you write music yourself.

Phil Cooper is a contemporary folk-pop troubadour based in Bristol. He is best known as one third of folk / americana trio The Lost Trades, but has also been performing solo for the best part of two decades, sharing the stage with the likes of Badly Drawn Boy, The Bluetones, Mark Chadwick and many more. His vocals and varied songwriting have been compared to the likes of James Taylor, Neil Finn (Crowded House), Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Stephen Stills and Glen Hansard. A live performance with Phil is friendly and engaging and you'll be sure to laugh and cry, all whilst tapping your feet, and humming along to the instantly catchy melodies he weaves.

Phil will be running a song writing workshop on Friday 25 April, 10am - 4pm.
