What do we say it is?
This is a website that encourages groups of people to get together for songwriting and performance. You arrange a ‘SongPull’ event in a local space – home, cafe, bar, community hall – and songs that have been written and co-written by the participants are played on acoustic instruments in front of the other contributors and (if you choose) an audience.
Members are encouraged to video the resulting performances and submit them to the site, which in turn has a supportive community of enthusiasts, commentators and critics. There’s a chart system on the site and performances can be ranked and commented on – but the main push here is the live event itself. Events are promoted and advice and support is given for people setting up their own.
