Love music? Love songwriting? Then SongFest is the event for you.

SONGFEST is returning after a fantastic launch in 2010. 2011’s event will take place at a bigger venue – the Bedford in Balham, London – a place synonymous with the rising stars of songwriting talent!

If you are a songwriter for yourself or you write for others, this is going to be the must-attend songwriting event of the year!

Presented by BASCA, home of the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards, SongFest is an exclusive gathering of young songwriters, music industry professionals, award-winning songwriters and unsigned artists all in one room at one amazing venue, exchanging ideas, networking and giving advice in a series of seminars and interviews (with a few surprise performances thrown in!).

Chris Difford, Keynote Speaker: “I’m really looking forward to being a guest speaker this year at Songfest. Songwriting is my bread and butter and sometimes the jam too so its means so much to be to be asked to speak. To write songs is to breathe as a human being, to have your songs recorded and listened to is to share in life, and that’s all there is… I hope you agree and can be as inspired as I often am to be a songwriter.”
