Song-writing & Recording Workshops: A Tribute to Our Friends in Music

Organised by SoundBite Music & Food Co.

1-7 November

SoundBite, 270A Cumbernauld Road, Glasgow G31 2UL

These workshops are open to the local community of musicians and artists.

Join us for a special week of song-writing and recording workshops from 1-7 November at our studio in Glasgow’s East End. As a social enterprise dedicated to supporting aspiring musicians and creatives, we’re hosting a project that will bring together up to 25 local musicians and artists to collaborate on a meaningful tribute to friends in the industry who have passed away in recent years.

This week of workshops will focus on themes of bereavement and remembrance, offering participants a unique opportunity to process grief through music and creativity. Our professional sound engineers and studio space will be available to guide participants as they write and record original songs that honour their loved ones. This shared experience will provide a therapeutic way to express emotions and celebrate memories through art.

In addition to the music workshops, we’ll offer a space for visual artists to create pieces that complement the musical tributes. Our on-site café will serve free snacks and soft drinks to participants throughout the week. Follow us on social media for more details, and get involved in this powerful community project.

These workshops are supported by a To Absent Friends small grant.
