ABBA’s songwriting.

This documentary by Iain Archer digs into the genius of blending Bach with disco, glam rock and the melancholy of Swedish winters.

Highly recommended.

I’ll be presenting ABBA: Inside The Music on Radio 4 at 8pm tonight. Slightly different gig to my regular one, but no less enjoyable. Deep dive on songwriting and creative process of the group. Thanks to Simon Hollis (producer) and all contributors. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

This was an incredible night last year.

Legends of songwriting and stars of the future playing and chatting.

Not to be missed.

The Other Songs

I’m proud to say our new label, Apple Tree Records, will be awarding master points to songwriters involved in any of our releases. The points will be taken from the label’s share - so as not to take away from the artists. 1/

In May we held The Other Songs Live at the iconic The London Palladium. Having shared the stage with the wonderful minds of A.R.Rahman, Jimmy Napes, FUTURE UTOPIA, RuthAnne and many others, we are delighted to announce we raised £65,000 for BRIT School and The Ivors Academy.

So fed up

Fantastic speech from one of the best of humans Tom Gray 🌹 well done to you and the team for a day (and week) to remember The Ivors Academy

Huge congrats Hannah Peel 👏👏👏

He speaks the truth 🙏🏻

Agreed

The brilliant RAYE showing such courage to call out coercive poor practice and imbalance in the financial treatment of songwriters by labels.

Songwriting is not a byproduct of the Music business, the Music Business is a byproduct of songwriting.
