    http://www.songwriters-guild.co.uk/faq.htm
    
    Extractions: A The answer is, basically, yes. They are all looking for recognised success of their talent, publication of their songs and instrumental themes, and to receive money earned as royalties from the exploitation of their songwriting, composing and performances. The main difference is that songwriters and composers are seeking publishing deals, to have artistes record their songs and to see any instrumental themes succeed in television programmes and advertising, whereas performing songwriters are not only seeking publishing deals but also management deals and record deals. A There are ways of solving this problem. The Guild operates a register of collaborators, some are melody writers and some are lyric writers. Collaboration is a proven method for most writers who require a partner to do what they cannot do themselves. Most songwriters and composers know of successful collaboration partnerships, such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd-Webber, to name just a few. There are also occasions when artistes themselves collaborate with songwriters. Publishers also sometimes put songwriting teams together. In most cases, however, publishing companies require complete songs and will only take lyrics alone under exceptional circumstances. Members of the Guild can use the Collaboration Service, which is free of charge.

    Extractions: Singer Songwriter David Harris is currently on tour! With the release of his seventh recording, Moonlit . David continues more than a decade of concert touring at colleges and clubs across America. David Harris writes wonderful songs! He is a masterful storyteller, with a great passion for songwriting. He weaves prose and poetry into compelling tales. Artful, thoughtful, sometimes amusing, and always heartfelt, David creates vivid portraits of people's lives and dreams in song. Whether he is writing about romance or politics, the society or the environment, spirituality or modern wants, he captures images and ideas which evoke in us a sense of "listening" to a great book. Musically, he has forged a compelling style of guitar playing in which he utilizes altered and open tunings to create rich, mystic harmonies. A new generation of technology allows David to change keys, guitar sounds, and even tunings, during songs!, creating a rare and impressively original style of playing. His voice is warm and intimate, yet powerful. Critics have hailed David Harris' work. Bam Magazine, Music Connection, and The Victory Review say: "Songwriting and performing talent at this level should not be overlooked ... Harris' vocals are, rich, emotional, and convincing ... His songs always contain sophistication and subtlety." "Harris showed an impeccably fluid style. Though his focus is on songwriting, he qualifies as a solid guitarist as well..."

    Extractions: The Fling s the Thing by James Yarsky Have you ever seen the television show Northern Exposure Monty Python and the Holy Grail and so he goes into hiding because as Chris puts it "repetition is the death of art." Then Maurice, this ex-marine/ex-astronaut, tells Chris that Maggie’s house has burned to the ground and he remembers Picaso’s famous statement "every act of destruction is an act of creation". He goes to charred house and finds a burned upright piano. He decides to fling the piano. In one of the most beautiful monologues ever Chris stands before his giant catapult, talks about the groping we all experience when we’re going for that perfect expression of our feelings. Then he pulls out a sword and quotes the end of Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man saying— "Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race." Then he says something just as cool. He tells everyone that he learned a lot of things on his journey toward this moment and this is key— "It’s not the thing you fling, it’s the fling itself." Then the burnt piano is sent flying into the air. It was one of the most beautiful expressions of art I have ever seen.

    Extractions: For the past several months, I have had a survey up on my main songwriting tips page with some basic questions on your experience, preferences, goals and others. The survey brought some surprising results, at least to me! What I want to do here is go through the questions and responses and evaluate them! The company that provided the poll changed around and as a result, the poll is no longer valid. However, I'll be creating new polls in future so stay tuned! As for the results I received from the last one, here are the results: Most of you who responded write both lyrics and music (67%), more write just lyrics (25%) than just music (8%). This was a newer question on the survey and therefore has fewer responses than some of the others, but seems to confirm my suspicion that MOST songwriters aim to do both.

As many readers of InFolkus will know, the Songwriting Event is held as part of the Victor Harbor Folk Festival, and has been held in one form or another since the first State Folk Festival in 1979.

As mentioned in last months column, our very own local SCALA ) has been online since 1995. In the archive of articles on the site you can find items discussing various aspects of songwriting including "How to write a song" by Bob Petchell; ideas for avoiding cliches and obvious rhymes, and an interesting look at the use of the ‘bridge’ in songwriting - both by Rob Childs. If you don’t know what a ‘bridge’ is when used in a song, then Robs article is a good starting point. The SCALA site has numerous other items of interest to songwriters and is a great place from which to start your research into the art of songwriting. The ISA, or the

Overall Casey's idiosyncratic brand of songwriting has compelled me to push myself further as an iinstrumentalist and as a craftsperson of rich songs. But our writing styles are HUGELY disparate. That said, I do hope that we'll keep collaborating and performing together for years to come, because we have a rich creative
