On October 6th, as part if the fabulous Shoreham Wordfest, Phil will be performing his one person show - Snow Along the Line. Songs, backing music, images and off stage voices.

This was very successful last night. We so often think of songwrting in terms of inspiration but let's remember its also work. Putting time in your diary to focus on this work seems to be really beneficial - do drop us a line if you'd like to hear more!

Some feedback on last nights Songwriters Open Space session from David M in Cornwall

“Ever had trouble finding time to sit down and write a song? I joined Phil's Open Space, and in little more than an hour I'd written a set of lyrics and crafted a tune to words that I'd had lying dormant for about 18 months. Amazing what a radical act taking time out to create can be.”

Thanks David! If you’d like take part in this dedicated, monthly, song writing time - please message me or email me [email protected]

Next session 24th August 7-9

We'll be helping people feel about what develops rock-solid confidence, how to engage and emotionally move audiences, how to think about our body language, what we wear and EVERYTHING ELSE which YOU want to be part of your stage performance. The main aim is to feel comfortable and enjoy and have even more fun in doing your performances

Wanted to express our deep sadness that Paul Adsett has left us. Paul had put on many a Hatful of Rain show and had been bringing great music to the Greys and other Brighton venues for many years. Much love the Ashley and family x
