Hit Songs and 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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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?
