A Bethlem Live Lounge workshop, hosted by The Artist Taxi Driver.

Celebrate the opening of Bethlem Live Lounge with a masterclass from legendary musician Martyn Ware.

Martin will deliver his talk on 30 Tips for Song-writing and Production based on his years of experience at the top of the British music industry, and participants will have the opportunity to make their own music with the instruments and equipment in the Live Lounge.
