*Sharon Corr participated in the songwriting panel, given the teasing title ‘Songs Should Have Some Bloody Meaning!’. She joined Mick Pyro (Republic Of Loose), Ronan Hardiman and star producer Dave Odlum, who produced highly successful records for The Frames, Josh Ritter and Gemma Hayes, among others.
