18th-22nd February 2009 Belfast Northern Ireland

Each year we celebrate the art of song writing and the Sister Cities link between Belfast and Nashville.
 
5 Days 28 Concerts 75 Songwriters
Last year's festival brought together many internationally acclaimed writers including Nanci Griffith, Don Schlitz, Chris Difford (Squeeze), Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) with talented local songwriters; Ben Glover, Anthony Toner, Eilidh Patterson, Bap Kennedy and The Delawares to name just a few. We're working on next year's festival and will announce details soon.
 
With more than twenty seminars, February's Song Writing Convention was a great success and brought aspiring songwriters from many countries to Belfast. Watch out for details of next year's convention with special rates for early registration. You can view the 2008 songwriters festival line up and convention seminar topics in the main menu above.
 
Hope you decide to join us for the 5th songwriters festival and convention 18-22 February 2009.

See you in Belfast
