In association with the Kilkenny Arts Festival, Raply Murphy is giving two very special seminars Songwriting Tips and Demo Dips in August.

The first seminar will take place on August 10 in Copyright House, Pembroke Row, Lower Baggot St. from 6-9pm.

The second seminar will be on August 11 in The Heritage Council, Áras na hOidhreachta, Church Lane, Kilkenny.

If you or the songwriter in your life wants to take part, you should send an email to [email protected] as there are limited places.

These free sessions allow your demo to be critiqued by Murphy himself who has been in the music business for over 40 years.

It's a rarity to get the opinion of a pro for free so make sure you don't miss out on this.
