Welcome to Songwriters’ Circle. This event is for local and expat artists to share their own songs, give and receive feedback, and generally talk about songwriting. You are welcome to join even if you don’t plan to share a song—just listening to other people’s work and the comments they get is a great way to learn and grow.

Guidelines for sharing and feedback:

If you’re sharing a song, you can ask for general feedback or say clearly what kind of feedback you want (for example: about the lyrics, structure, melody, etc.). People giving feedback should stick to what you’ve asked for.

You don’t have to take every suggestion seriously. Everyone has a different style—use what helps you and ignore the rest.

When giving feedback:

Say exactly what you liked and why.

For suggestions, start your comment with “What if...” to show you’re offering ideas, not judging.

We want this to be a positive and respectful space.

Hope to see you all on Sunday 22nd November.
