Emeraz.com and Z1 Music will be hosting a songwriters workshop in association with IMRO at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin on the 13thand 14th of July. The workshop will be run by noted songwriters/producers Tim Hawes and Obi Mhondera. The two have worked with acts such as The Spice Girls, Blue, Five and Sugababes in the past.
Participants in the workshop will be divided into groups of no more than three and will receive a project to complete. Each team will have its own recording space and engineer with which to work. In addition to this each person at the workshop will receive one to one mentoring from either Tim or Obi. The aim of the weekend is to expose budding songwriters to a professional setup and if a team is successful in their endeavours Z1 Music will look to have their song placed.
The cost of a place in the workshop is €399 (€299 for IMRO members). As this is a non-profit event, this fee is merely to cover the use of the top class Windmill Lane Studios.
