YOUNG people will have an opportunity to record their own song at a new creative arts and music programme which will take place across Limerick City and County this summer.
Limerick Youth Service (LYS) and Music Generation are teaming up to run a series of three-day workshops which are suitable for teenagers from 12 to 17 years of age.
The course will be an introduction to all aspects of the music industry, including instructions on songwriting and learning how to play musical instruments.
Delivered by experienced musicians and youth workers, all levels from beginners to experienced musicians are welcome, and instruments will be provided if necessary.
As well as having their song recorded teenagers will design the artwork for their own album cover.
This programme costs €25 for the three days and will take place from 11am to 3pm.
