We are delgihted to have teamed up with the wonderful people over at La Sierra Casa in Spain to be able to offer one lucky individual an opportunity of a lifetime; the chance to gain a scholarship to the renowned songwriting camp.

One lucky individual will spend some truly unforgettable days co-writing with various artists, producers, and rock stars, surrounded by nature and creative energy in abundance.

This particular opportunity will be for a place at the songwriting camp from the 29th April – 5th May 2026 with camp co-owner Kyle Falconer (The View) and Danny McNamara from world famous band Embrace at the helm.

It’s an all inclusive opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable experience to include your flights to and from the retrteat, full accommodation and all meals alongside all the invaluable hands on one on one learning experience.

Group writing sessions are led by a seasoned musician, guiding you through their unique approach to songwriting. During your stay, you’ll take part in inspiring collaborative sessions with guest writers, creating brand-new songs from the ground up, as well as sessions with an expert producer in a state-of-the-art studio to create a demo to take home with you.

The aim of this scholarship is to give back to the grassroots level of budding musician. It’s about opening doors and offering an opportunity to someone with the talent, passion and a story who would truly make the most of the experience.

Alongside the physical reset, there will also be informative industry sessions led by experienced professionals, covering topics such as PRS, music management, radio plugging, promoting and branding/social media management and more in essence, giving you all the tools, confidence, and insider knowledge needed to navigate and thrive in today’s music industry.

The nature of the retreat is about community and coming together in support. There is no gatekeeping here, you’ll have access to the whole experience where everyone is treated equally.

Whether you fancy a coffee by the pool first thing, or joining in with the morning activity, the days are yours to shape. You might jump into an afternoon pool game, or head off on a wee solo trek through the mountains. In the evenings, the group gathers for camp-fire jams, song playbacks and live-room sessions where everyone swaps instruments and gets up for a tune.

All rooms at the camp are en-suite, there’s a Custom made sports arena, a spa with a sauna and hot tub, private gardens, stunning mountain views for miles getting both sunrise and sunset, every day, fully functional gym, 16m swimming pool, on-site state of the art recording studio  and 4 different apartments all with own kitchens and living rooms so you can get your own down time if need be. Also included is gourmet catering, a specialist bar and evening socials.
