THE SONGWRITERS WORKSHOP



The Songwriters Workshop was an organization set up by Tim Hollier in 1973 with the aim of helping songwriters to compose and record.  Its record label appears to have first seen the light of day in 1979.  It issued singles in an SW-0 numerical series, which reached SW-15 in 1981.  Some well-known names recorded for the label - Peter Sarstedt, Ed Welch, Maggie Britton, and The Broughtons - but the only two singles from the '70s were by lesser-known artists.  The singles in question were 'The Weaver' by Jamie Jauncey (SW-1; 1979), and Alexander / Dale's 'The Palm Of My Hand' (SW-2; 1979).  Manufacture of the second was by Pye.
