BBC Radio 4 - Will Gompertz Gets Creative, Hit Songs and Love Songs

Kathryn Williams and Tom McRae join Willm Gompertz to give a masterclass in hit love songs

Will Gompertz visits the Coventry Singer Songwriters group and is joined Kathryn Williams and Tom McRae for a special masterclass on hit love songs.

For the final programme in the series, the BBC Arts Editor drops in on songwriting group in the Midlands to see how easy it is to create a hit love song. Plenty try but few succeed - so joining him for a special masterclass are the Mercury and Brit nominated artists Kathryn Williams and Tom McRae who have both written songs with and for other artists - ranging from John Martyn and Marianne Faithful to Nadine Coyle and Matt Cardle. Can they help the members of the Coventry Singer Songwriting group create a hit of their own?

If you are inspired to get involved in songwriting - or indeed any other areas of artistic endeavour - there's lots to discover at the BBC's Get Creative website http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/sections/get-creative
