The Nuts and Bolts of Songwriting | New Book From Niall Toner
Niall Toner is widely regarded as Ireland’s leading expert on bluegrass and American country music. He presents ‘Roots Freeway’ on RTE Radio 1.
Niall has written a book about his chosen profession,The Nuts and Bolts of Songwriting is the culmination of Niall’s four decades of experience in the trenches.
Niall says: “It’s a basic guide to the craft of writing songs, as seen from my own personal perspective. It doesn’t claim to be the Bible of writing, but I try to tell folks how I do it, and how I have learned from some of the greats over the past 40 years.
There are examples of songs I have had cut by The Nashville Bluegrass Band, Special Consensus, Albert Lee and Bill Wyman. The main emphasis is slanted towards writing in bluegrass and traditional country styles, although I have always believed that a good song is a good song, regardless of genre.”
