Red Room Poetry’s Middle of the Air project celebrates poetry beyond the page by uniting poetry and song in new ways and drawing on the shared history between these forms.

In this live recording of ABC Radio National’s The Music Show, three of Australia's leading contemporary songwriters, DOBBY, Ziggy Ramo and Leah Senior, discuss the relationship between words and music and their favourite lyricists. This special event also includes performances from the songwriters.

Join DOBBY, Ziggy and Leah as they consider their songwriting processes with host of ABC Radio National’s The Music Show Andrew Ford.

Presented in partnership with Sydney Writers' Festival.
