BAD MANORS 2025
Monday 17th - Friday 21st November
at Seven Springs House, Cotswolds, UK
Powered by The Woods, daWorks Music Publishing and BYRÅ
For the sixth consecutive year, Norwegian publishers The Woods, daWorks, and BYRÅ, supported by The Norwegian Music Publisher Association, will invite professional Norwegian, British, and international songwriters and artists to Bad Manors' songwriting camp. Bad Manors 2025 takes place Monday 17th - Friday 21st November at Seven Springs House (https://goo.gl/maps/McH3mV7ywewMS8yS6), a mansion in the Cotswolds in the English countryside, just a couple of hours outside London. This combination of inspiring, beautiful scenery and living facilities encourages uninterrupted creativity.
Over three days, 23 songwriters and artists will participate in songwriting teams focusing on contemporary hit songwriting with a unique Scandinavian and British twist: Pop, R&B, hip hop, and EDM. In total, six teams will be announced at breakfast each morning. Six artists who need songs for their upcoming projects will join the teams for co-writing (the artists have a first option to cut the songs). Songs will be presented each night at 22.00 (10 pm). We always aim for 50/50 female/male participation.
