For any of you that have been know to put the pen to parchment and write yourself a song, be sure and check-out a new forum just for songwriters. The Songwriting Forums has been setup by b5media’s own Alan Hylands. It’s not restricted to any particular genre of music so hopefully it can become a resource for you. Alan says this: It’s going to be discussion, hints and tips for songwriters, musicians and music fans in general and being a frustrated songwriter and guitarist and having a lot of friends into the same thing it seemed like the natural kind of community to get involvedRead More →
