We asked This Is The Kit for some songwriting tips to help you get creative. This Is The Kit and Bucky’s New Song for Bristol premieres 23 March online at asongforus.org.

I’m not a very confident songwriter and I find it hard to know how to go about it myself, so, with that in mind I guess the advice I would give to anyone else, but also to myself, is to write a song for the writing of it.

Don’t necessarily put pressure on yourself to definitely finish anything.

Just start it for fun and before you know it you might have a song done!

Trick yourself into it!

Then just bung it up there on the map because it’s nice joining in with things and feeling like you’re part of a map!
