Hit Songs and Love Songs

Will Gompertz Gets Creative

Available for over a year

For the final programme in the series, the 麻豆社 Arts Editor drops in on songwriting group in the Midlands to see how easy it is to create a hit love song. Plenty try but few succeed - so joining him for a special masterclass are the Mercury and Brit nominated artists Kathryn Williams and Tom McRae who have both written songs with and for other artists - ranging from John Martyn and Marianne Faithful to Nadine Coyle and Matt Cardle. Can they help the members of the Coventry Singer Songwriting group create a hit of their own? If you are inspired to get involved in songwriting - or indeed any other areas of artistic endeavour - there's lots to discover at the 麻豆社's Get Creative website http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/sections/get-creative Series produced by Clare Walker, Kate Lamble and Paul Kobrak.
