A songwriting celebration

Since 2017, The Other Songs Live has celebrated the top songwriters of today, from legends to newcomers. Expect live performances, interviews and storytelling as you’re brought ‘backstage’, gaining an insight into some of the greatest songs ever written.

This year’s line up features Bernie Taupin, one of the all-time greatest lyricists and winner of eight Ivor Novello Awards, who will give us a rare glimpse into his songwriting partnership with Elton John – one of the most successful in history.

Neo-soul titans Gabriels, whose frontman Jacob Lusk famously duetted “Are You Ready For Love” with Elton at Glastonbury, join the line-up alongside other modern favourites such as British songwriter Tom Odell, whose timeless classic “Another Love” now has over two billion streams globally, and the award-winning UK vocalist Celeste. Odell and Celeste have both been crowned Songwriter of the Year at The Ivors.

Grammy and Ivor Novello award-winning Little Mix collaborator KAMILLE, long-time collaborator of Donna Summer Pete Bellotte, platinum-selling songwriter Jin Jin, who has written for some of the UK’s biggest artists such as Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit and Raye, German-producer Toby Gad, who wrote John Legend’s biggest hit “All Of Me”, Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and Beyoncé’s “If I Were A Boy”, and UK singer-songwriter Dyo, who has penned hits for the likes of Iggy Azalea and Maroon 5.

Other performers include chart-topping Irish singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot, New York sibling band Infinity Song and rising star Sam Wilkinson.

The Other Songs Live has welcomed more than 300 songwriters since its beginning. Raising crucial funds for charity and giving us moments including the revelation from The Kaiser Chiefs’ Nick Hodgson that the inspiration behind “Ruby” was a dog.
