Whatever inspired Yeats, you’ll find it around here!
The Sandhouse Hotel, described as ‘one of Ireland’s west coast treasures’, is magnificently situated on the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean overlooking Donegal Bay. It is a haven of comfort and tranquillity amidst the beauty of rural Ireland. The hotel is located in Rossnowlagh, known as ‘the heavenly cove’.
This songwriter event will run along similar lines to those previously hosted by IMRO in that it will focus on songwriter collaboration and live performances of new material.
Each morning workshop participants will be randomly paired off together to spend the day co-writing. We will also be running songwriter masterclasses over the course the workshop session and each evening participants will be given the opportunity to perform newly written material live.
The cost of this workshop includes: 4 nights accommodation plus 3 days breakfast, lunch and evening meals at the Sandhouse Hotel. All additional hotel services, meals, phone, etc will be billed at normal hotel rates.
Workshop participants will be required to pay for the workshop fee on arrival. Extra hotel service charges, if billed, are payable to the Sandhouse Hotel on departure.
There are only 30 places available for this workshop, so early booking is advisable.
To reserve your place please send a cheque/postal order for €100, made payable to IMRO (please don´t send cash). This deposit will be refunded at the beginning of the workshop session.
