Club Rockhaq Workshops: April 2019

Our third month of Club Rockhaq creative writing workshops saw everyone finish their first reviews – and some even started and finished their second reviews in the same workshop. This was a brilliant achievement. So brilliant, that all our writers were rewarded with well-deserved Easter eggs at the end 🥚🤗

As mentioned above, two of our youngest writers started and finish their second reviews by the end of this workshop – wow! Both of these writers were in different workshops but they’re the same age, which is an odd but cool coincidence. At this rate, most of our writers will be sharing their work on The Rockhaq Community far sooner than we had expected.

WHAT MUSIC WAS COVERED?

We read lots of top-class reviews at both workshops, including pieces on Cimorelli’s You’re Worth It, Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding‘s Outside, and one on young British singer Jorja Smith, who performed at this year’s Brit Awards. Elsewhere, a reviewer had finished his assessment of Queen epic Killer Queen and promptly moved on to covering the Nirvana classic, Smells Like Teen Spirit.

As some of you may know, Nathan Brooks recently finished his review of The Velvet Underground. Both Nathan and Michelle are now working on producing special coverage of The Stone Roses debut album in time for it’s astonishing 30-year anniversary in May 2019. Next month’s workshops will see the Club Rockhaq writers finishing their first music reviews, before moving on to lyric writing with Rob Gee in May.

FANCY IT?

We have very few places left for Club Rockhaq workshops now. We’re building a reserves list for any places that come up this year or in 2020. If you’re a music geek or budding writer, then walk this way.
