Midge is patron of the Burnsong organisation, and will be working as a mentor on the Burnsong project (along with SWF’s own Joe Bennett) in November 2009. You can read more about this (and hear some of the songs) in Joe’s Burnsong 2007 blog.

Burnsong have announced entries for their 2009 songwriting competition, which closes on 21st August (the last day of SWF 2009, coincidentally).
