Episode 4
Last year, (as mentioned in episode two) a national competition was launched for songwriters aged 50 plus. The winner of the competition was Scottish musician, Fergus McNeill, who took up songwriting in his forties. Fergus is a criminologist and was introduced to songwriting through a programme he ran in a Scots prison. In this episode, he tells us why songwriting is important for people in prison, and elaborates on his own process and success.
