Day 4 - PRS, studios and live songwriting

On the Thursday we were joined by Nigel Beaham-Powell, one of the writer directors of PRS. Nigel discussed some of the issues relating to ownership and publishing that affect songwriters. Nigel's brief presentation led into Andy's live songwriting session. Joe and Nigel spent most of lunchtime on a satisfying (for them) geeky comparison of open tunings. Meanwhile, all five studios were in overdrive - Cecilia was preparing the vocalists for their tracking sessions, Blain and Abner were recording ten songs every day, and Davey, Josh and Chris were mixing the previous day's songs in the Music Lab studios. And all 47 writers were working hard on the next task.
