Bookings are now being taken for this exclusive residential retreat and workshop in the heart of beautiful Andalusia. You'll spend a week learning advanced songwriting techniques and putting them into practise every day in co-writing sessions, and I'll be there with a trusted friend from the music business to help you all the way.

There will be real-time information and briefs on artists currently looking for songs, which you'll have the chance to aim your writing towards, and ongoing mentoring throughout the week.

Each night during playback I'll record your new songs to a basic level so the vibe is captured before you move on to the next day's writing.

There will also be some fun with chillout time by the pool, a party night and a few more surprises along the way!

Our venue is just 45 mins from Malaga and Granada, and a 5 minute drive from the beautiful lake Iznajar, overlooked by a white washed village perched on a mountain where you'll find bars, restaurants, banks and shops.
Our on-site cooks will deliver wonderfully cooked local produce for breakfast, lunch and evening meal, and can cater for all your dietary requirements.
