More new things in 2010

Wow, 2010 is turning out to be an eventful year with so many new things happenings.

In some earlier posts I mentioned some new personal directions in work, musical theatre and even fencing. And this time round, the new plans for Songcraft this year is kind of in motion.

We just had a discussion with MTL on possible collaboration with them in terms of organising songwriter showcases. It has been great that in the past 3 years, we have seen how Songcraft have shaped some of our songwriters (some have come out of their closet and taken to the stage) and also how we have gotten to know a lot more songwriters. We have also seen a lot more support and groups that are promoting local original songwriting. Songcraft has served its original purpose well so far.

It has come now to a point where we can expand the scope of Songcraft to have a more "public" face. Hence the collaboration to help with the organising of songwriters showcases that MTL periodically organises, promising members of more exposure. We will still have our cosy & intimate sessions to provide an environment of the "in-between", where songwriters, budding or seasoned, can come to explore, test out their songs and even jam, but on a less frequent basis, like quarterly. We hope this collaboration will produce some synergy.
