3 Chord Thursday Original Songs

On Thursday 15th June 2023, we invite you to submit and perform your original song, that is, a song you wrote yourself. For copyright reasons, we will not publicly livestream this session but we will still record this 3 Chord Thursday song session for review purposes. You are most welcome to submit a video of your song if you’re not able to perform it live. It’s National Freelancers Day — that’s why!

With only a 24-hour notice, some 20 people participated in a one-hour workshop in Zoom on song writing in mid-April 2023. We took a famous poem and set it to music. If there’s enough interest and time in this 3 Chord Thursday session, we will give a taste of song writing.
