Inside Project 7’s 2024 Residential Songwriting Retreat at Rockfield Studios

In July 2024, 26 songwriters travelled from across the UK, and from around the world, to the Mecca of contemporary Music -Rockfield Studios.

These pilgrims experienced a creatively inspiring, life changing week of collaborative music creation at the UK’s premier residential songwriting retreat. 15 songs were written from scratch and recorded in the iconic studios where artists, including Queen, Oasis, Bowie, Bullet for My Valentine, Coldplay, Paolo Nutini, and Simple Minds, among others, have lived, written and recorded.

Since its launch in 2014, Pro7ect has brought together over 200 artists, songwriters, musicians, and producers, who have written and recorded more than 135 tracks at their residential retreats. This incredible output has led to multiple syncs, numerous releases, and the development of many albums and music projects by artists within the Pro7ect Alumni network, earning Pro7ect their reputation as the UK’s premier songwriting camp

Pro7ect differs from all the other writing camps because they provide professional production to the writing teams. Internationally recognised Headline Producers lead the daily sessions, offering expert guidance and creative support, ensuring artists create memorable songs primed for release.

This year's Headline Producers included industry luminaries such as Julian Victor Hinton(Stormzy, Seal, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Trevor Horn), Sophie Ackroyd(Kings Elliot, lleo, RØRY, Kate Wild, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Nina Nesbitt), Gethin Pearson(Badly Drawn Boy, Charlie XCX), Stew Jackson(Massive Attack & Phantom Limb), Jon Fletcher(The PFQ, Magpie Lane) and Lisa Fitzgibbon(The PFQ, The Standing, Moonshee), each bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.
