www.LondonSongwriters.co.uk  has been running monthly in Central London since 2009 and is a community where lyricists and composers of all abilities and ages can meet informally to share their passion for the craft. You do not have to be an accomplished performer to attend.

There is no better feeling than learning and practising new techniques to express yourself in your chosen endeavour. These 5-star-rated, facilitated, practical workshops are designed to help you do this with fun collaboration exercises and presentations on aspects of songcraft. By attending the workshops you are guaranteed to learn something new and meet potential friends and collaborators.

London Songwriters also provides an opportunity to get valuable peer feedback on your own songs, whether complete or works in progress. These can be played with an accompanying instrument or via MP3 or CD.

Occasionally we have industry guest speakers and special collective performances at festivals or charity events.

Above all, the meetups are about enjoyment and a safe space to try out your ideas in an unpressured and friendly environment.


The meetups are organised and facilitated by Murray Webster, an MMus Graduate of Bath Spa University and experienced songwriter.

What they say:

“I have now attended five of these. As with the other four this one was a delight.”

“Murray puts a lot of effort into running a smooth event making people of all abilities feel at ease and confident to play their new songs.”

What a brilliant few hours spent sharing and writing and playing, thanks so much to everyone for a great Sunday....!!!!

“Loved it! it was like the anti-X-factor: no competing, no hurtful criticism, simply a bunch of open minded musicians with a passion & talent for music suppporting each other :) I will come again!”

“It was a great experience! Really good for my confidence and to meet nice, talented people.”

In popular music, the bass part, which is called the "bassline", typically provides harmonic and rhythmic support to the band
