RAW: Uncensored Storytelling & Live Music

A London night of personal true stories told live, combined with live music and a DJ set, held at Old Sessions House. The Georgian-born singer Tamta is among the artists on the bill.

RAW brings together personal stories told on stage by people speaking about their own lives, alongside live music and a DJ set. Storytellers, performers and artists are chosen in advance, and audience members are not asked to take part, so visitors can simply come and listen. This edition is themed around culture. The event began as informal gatherings where stories were shared, and it has since become an independent London night run by three women.

Tamta is a singer born in Tbilisi in 1981, later naturalised Greek, who performs pop music. Active since 2004, Tamta has recorded for Minos EMI and released the self-titled debut album Tamta in 2006. The singer appears among the artists on this bill, alongside the storytellers.

Old Sessions House is a venue in London that hosts concerts and shows.
