Logan North Library, Sports Drive Underwood

Come along and network your songs with other songwriters & musicians and share your ideas.

This a relaxed and informal gathering aimed at improving our skills in the craft of songwriting. Bring along any unfinished songs; ones that you are “stuck” on; lyrics that need music; music that needs lyrics…..and just be prepared to explore & see what happens!

If you haven’t been there before, you take the Sports Drive turn off from Springwood Road, as though you were intending to go on the freeway to the city, BUT turn off immediately into the first driveway on the left that leads to the Logan North Library, aqualogan and insports gym. It is a good sized car park where you can park under cover. You will find us downstairs in the community room just inside the entrance to the library. I will be away at the Rhythm of the Universe weekend, so Melinda Wells will be running the session.
