Storytelling Through Music

Thursday 20 March, 6:30-8:00pm

Talking Writing is our regular themed writing event where we discuss the infinite possibilities of writing. 

Join us at Writing NSW this March for Talking Writing: Storytelling Through Music. Mawunyo Gbogbo (Hip Hop & Hymns), Max Easton (Paradise Estate, and The Magpie Wing), and Liam Keenan (also known as Meteor Infant), will be chatting with Writing NSW Program Manager and writer Katharine Pollock (Her Fidelity and the forthcoming Starry Eyed) about how music is so often the soundtrack to our lives. These four writers, musicians, and music lovers will come together to discuss what music means to them. 

Whether you’re partial to rap, punk, classical, or pop, join us at Writing NSW on Thursday 20 March for a melodious evening of conversation. Drinks and nibbles will be available from 6pm, as well as a chance to meet other writers before the panel. The panel will take place from 6:30-8pm. 

The event is $5 for members, who can bring along a free plus one. Enter the name of your plus one in ‘Order Notes’ when you checkout.
