The Other Songs Live spotlights a curated selection of the industry’s brightest songwriters and composers, offering the audience an exclusive opportunity to delve into the origins of the song with an evening packed full of performances and stories. The first guests to be revealed for the 2026 showcase are multi-award winning British singer, songwriter, and producer Cathy Dennis and American musician and songwriter Justin Tranter, with more guests to be announced.

As well as highlighting the talent of both emerging and legendary songwriters, The Other Songs’ previous events have raised over £180,000 for music charities including The BRIT School, Nordoff & Robbins and The Ivors Academy Trust. This year, for the
first time, The Other Songs will be exclusively raising funds for The BRIT School, as part of their pledge to support arts education which has been decimated by funding cuts from multiple governments.

In addition to raising vital funds to support the future of the free arts school, this year’s event will also be the first that the talented pupils of The BRIT School will be sharing the stage with the performers from the to-be-announced lineup, from world class songwriters to critically acclaimed BRIT School alumni, offering support both on and off stage through the event.
