DUE TO THE RAIN, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO NEXT SUNDAY (03/01/21)
How do songs get made? Why do songs get made? And is the making of them influenced by the place where the making gets done?
Some questions have been explored, wrestled with and jumped around on by local singer and folk songwriter Adam McGrath within this project.
All songs are about something, whether inane or of impenetrable depth they all hope to express a story, of the heart, of the head, of history or of hope, they all locate themselves somewhere and once they’ve taken shape can be carried anywhere in the telling or singing as the case may be. The life of a song, its journey from creation to performance, is a curious and exciting one and the transference from writer to listener ensures it a life beyond the moment where it is first marked down or heard.
