Songwriting Retreat

[paddocksretreat]

Hello Guys,

Hope you don't mind If I pop in a let you know about a retreat we're running. It's a 5 day retreat with likely 12 people on it. You'll stay in wooden log cabins with 3 others and there will be optional activities in the mornings - ie beer/wine tasting , fishing , meditating and then writing in pairs and groups in the afternoon. The idea of the retreat is to take people away from the distractions of their lives and put them in beautiful surroundings with likeminded people so they can concentrate on writing some music. It'll cost £250 per person.

The last two days will be spent recording the written work in the studio: Raindirk recording console, 1176, distressor, API eq's and Pre, LA4, Thermionic Culture compressors, U89 pair, 414's, 421's etc

Here's the blurb from the myspace page:

The Paddocks Songwriting retreats have been designed to take you away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life and put you in an idylic setting from where you can concentrate on relaxing and focusing on one of the most important things in your life. Music!

Set in the quiet Leicestershire countryside the Paddocks Recording Studio is the perfect environment to channel your creative energies.

Spend the day writing and exchanging ideas with likeminded musicians in a top of line recording studio and at night relax in the Wood Cabins of the Eye Kettleby Lakes.

Other optional activies include fishing, meditation, beer and wine tasting.

The retreat lasts for 5 days, at the end of which you'll be completely in tune with the artist inside of you, ready to record your very own melodies and ideas in a studio most musicians only dream of!

On hand to offer help and guidance are songwriters from Universal and Ministry of Sound.

For dates, email Maryann. A typical 5 day session costs £250



thanks!
Maryann
