Songs After Dark

Partnered with

Kilkenny Night Time Economy
A Series of Four Standalone Adult Songwriting Workshops

Songs After Dark is part of the Kilkenny Night-Time Economy Initiative, inviting people to come together after hours to explore creativity through songwriting.

Join award-winning singer-songwriter Luan Parle in The Archer Room at the Hole in The Wall, Kilkenny, for an inspiring songwriting workshop designed for adults of all experience levels. Whether you’re writing your first song or you’ve been songwriting for years, you’ll be guided through every stage of the creative process in a welcoming and supportive environment within the intimate surroundings of this historic venue.

Each workshop begins with a masterclass in songwriting, exploring song structure, lyric writing, melody, and developing ideas. Working together as a group, participants will explore a creative theme and collaborate throughout the session, culminating in the creation of a brand-new original song by the end of the workshop.
