CALL OUT FOR PARTICIPANTS!
Are you a young aspiring musician aged 16-25? Have you ever wondered how to write the perfect pop song? On Friday 16th October The Wingham Akoostik Festival pairs with our all-ages project Indent to run a specialised masterclass in songwriting with triple j’s high-rotation act Art vs Science!
Fresh from the release of their new single In This Together and with a brand new album on the way, Art Vs Science will lend their ferocious energy, pop smarts and blistering instrumental ability to the Wingham Akoostik Workshop.
Twelve lucky entrants will spend six hours writing three original songs with assistance from Art vs Science’s drummer Dan Williams and singer/multi-instrumentalist Dan Mac. Even better, the participants will showcase their original songs with a full band, live that night at the Wingham Akoostik Festival!
Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!
