14/11/12: The M.U. laid on a Songwriters Masterclass at McDevitts room at the South Street Atrs Centre in Reading on this date. Songwriter Martin Sutton was the director of proceedings and, with the aid of a projector and screen + additional props, he spoke of the joys and perils of songwriting for about 4 hours. He has had his own failures and successes. Thanks to Emily Stewart from H.O. of the M.U. things ran smoothly.     

Song Swap:

An idea came to fruition during the recent year when my 1st piano man arrived to take on board a couple of my songs and pieces of music. The idea being that he sends along a C.D. of some of his.
