About Songwriting Workshop: Women Who Create Wales
This song-writing session is designed to fill you with confidence, banish your inner critic and celebrate what makes you unique!
It is being organised as part of Women Who Create Wales: March Festival. It is being hosted by Mioe and Angharad Jenkins.
After a short warm up, we'll start the process by writing your unique song-writing manifesto. From there you will have the space to explore some of your own ideas in a safe and welcoming environment. We will also explore how to incorporate Cymraeg into your songs. Start with a few words, or phrases, and build up from there. Come with an open mind, bring an instrument if you have one. Journals will be provided.
Angharad Jenkins is a bilingual song writer and fiddle player. She operates across genres, exploring language and identity through collaborations with her long-standing musical companions Patrick Rimes (Vrï/Calan), jazz pianist Huw Warren and her mother, harpist Delyth Jenkins. She discovered her voice as a songwriter after giving birth to her daughter six years ago and hasn't looked back. Her debut solo album Motherland (Libertino Records, 2024) was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize and described by CLASH Magazine as 'slippery baroque pop in the vein of Wales' own Cate Le Bon and Gwenno.'
