I'm in bad need of a bit of advice and I hope that some 'Catters out there might be able to help me.
        A short while back I was invited to host a songwriters workshop at Listowel (Co. Kerry, Ireland) Writers' Week.   This is a major international literary festival featuring major writers and poets.   I was greatly flattered by the invitation – and the dosh – and so accepted without giving the matter much thought.

        I'm now beginning to wonder if I'm the right man for the job. It doesn't help that I'm a self-taught musician and writer and know damn all about music theory and suchlike.   Not being able to read the dots is something of a disadvantage in one way, and perhaps, a blessing in another. Not only that, but I don't have any experience of teaching anybody anything.
        
        Anyway, the workshop will run over three days and would appear to be quite intensive. Is there anybody out there who has attended one of these things and knows of a good format. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated and might help me to get a clear picture in my mind of what I should be doing.

        I'm in your collective hands………….M
