THE ORIGINAL SONGWRITERS

The premier showcase in London for young songwriters since 1991, T.O.S maintains a high standard of acts that makes it a very different animal to other gigs of similar price.



From the moment you walk through our doors and sit at one of our candle-lit tables, you instantly feel a welcome that is all too rare these days. As you enjoy a drink from the bar, music industry veterans mixed with new and fresh talents from around the U.K and beyond come together to put on a high caliber show that transforms your Wednesday evening into something truly special.
We will continue to showcase the best talent in the UK and we'd like to give a big thank you to all the amazing talent that has graced our stage in the last 19 years.

In addition to our brilliant Acoustic & Band nights, we also do extra-special shows where we provide an extremely rare opportunity for young songwriters to work with our house band which is made up entirely of top session musicians who work in London and around the globe. Artistes send their chord charts and demos in and rehearse with the band beforehand, and the result is always spectacular. We are in fact the the only showcase in the UK to provide a full lineup of top backing musicians!

♫ The Original Songwriters is a non-profit organisation committed to showcasing talented songwriters, and we pride ourselves on doing so in the format of a special evening of entertainment.
Any profit goes back into improving future nights.



♫ TOS has a long history and great reputation within the music industry
and has helped to launch the careers of many great artistes. For this reason
it is very much a showcase event and should be the highlight of any tour or
run of gigs.



♫ If you want to perform your songs to a new audience TOS can put its
facilities and experience at your disposal;



We supply you with a professionally run and established night, with a full PA, stage and backline, experienced sound engineer and stage manager all in a brilliant venue and bar.



The outrageously talented Krysten Cummings adds her unique polish and style
by hosting the evening.



.And on top of all of that, we have an in-house professional photographer who takes photos of your performance that you can download free.



All that we ask is that you also
contribute by bringing as many of your fan-base, friends and family with you so that other acts can also
expose their music and songs to new listeners.



Bands, acoustic acts and any other performers cannot expect their fellow artistes to be responsible for providing an audience. (IT IS NOT A FREE REHEARSAL)
