There is a free Words & Music Collaborations workshop from 10.30am - 4.30pm on Saturday 14th November 2009 at : The Storey Auditorium, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster

The aim of the workshop is to enable six writers and six musicians to work in collaboration experimenting with the combination of text and sound - stretching the boundaries of music and using words and sound in abstract/atmospheric ways.

As places are limited to six writers and six musicians they will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

If you would like more information or wish to book please e-mail: spotlightclub@btinternet.com

Please note: this is not a 'songwriting workshop'.
