The penultimate Soft Gut Song Camp of 2025 is fast approaching, and with only a few spaces left, now’s the time to apply.

Sponsored by IMRO, the camp takes place at the renowned Analogue Catalogue Residential Recording Studios in Rathfriland, a space that has welcomed artists including Lankum, King Creosote and Duke Special. Over several days, artists, songwriters and producers from across the island and beyond come together to collaborate, create and immerse themselves in a truly unique environment.

Since its founding in 2021 by Nikki MacRae and Ciaran Lavery, Soft Gut has become a cornerstone opportunity for music creators in NI and beyond. Previous camps have featured 1000 Beasts, Gemma Bradley, Roe and Chipzel, with many collaborations continuing long after the sessions wrap.

If you’re an artist, songwriter or producer keen to connect, create and grow, don’t miss this chance to be part of NI’s only dedicated song camp.

Only a handful of places remain – apply now to secure your spot. Applications close Sunday, 7th September.
