New platform for lyricists

Veteran musician and singer Keerthi Pasqual has made the ground-work to establish a new forum dedicated to lyricists in Sri Lanka to bring all songwriters under one umbrella, enabling them to protect their creative rights and work for the welfare of their future endeavours.

The Annual General Meeting of this forum will be held on July 31 at 9.30 am at the New Town Hall Auditorium in Colombo 7 where the election of office bearers will also take place.

A spokesperson for the forum said all lyricists ranging from veterans to emerging new generation songwriters can obtain membership on the basis that they have at least one song that has become a hit, one song that has received an award or minimum five songs that have been aired or telecast on the electronic media.
