Shut Up & Cut Up

About

So you want to be a lyricist? Quit your daydreaming (but maybe keep your day job) and join us for Shut Up & Cut Up!

Hosted by local musicians Kali and Josh, from Bristol Noise Workshops, we’ll teach you creative methods to generate ideas, help you craft narratives and characters, and write collaboratively in a fun, friendly setting. We can help you get started on your lyric writing journey, or challenge your current approach.

Background

In 2025, I co-founded Bristol Noise Workshops with Kali George. Together, we teach songwriting approaches and encourage collaboration. Our current workshop ‘Shut Up & Cut Up’ explores lyricism techniques, with a particular focus on Dadaism and a willingness to combine words through unorthodox methods.

Our chosen venue is the inspiring Kong’s of King Street, with its arcade games, table tennis, and comfy chairs.
