RAW: Uncensored storytelling & Live Music on Monday 13th May 2024
RAW LISTENING NIGHTS
Described as 'one of the best nights in London,' RAW listening nights are the cure for the common disconnect – blending culture, connection and cool in some of London’s hottest venues. Borne from one woman’s itch for collecting stories and speaking to strangers, today RAW is the first-of-its-kind, flagship event of all-female, culture agency,What Does Not.
RAWs are about as ‘London’ as it gets:
- Diverse – no two RAWs are ever the same, and the crowd is as patchwork as the city
- Dynamic – we plug into, and platform the many subcultures and tribes of London
- Plugged in – from members’ clubs to the hottest venues, RAWs give access to the best spots in town
- Entertaining – because why can’t the revolution be a bloody good time?
- Unapologetic about wanting to make a difference
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
MAY THEME: INTIMACY
WHERE:THE OLD QUEEN'S HEAD, ISLINGTON
WHEN: MAY 13TH, 6.30 TO 11.30pm – STORIES FROM 8PM
ABOUT THE THEME
We'll be getting real about intimacy of all kinds: emotional, physical, intellectual, experiential, spiritual, or creative. Far from being just a personal need or a private affair, intimacy is a building block of society, influencing its structure, health and progress. We'll hear stories about close connections that lightened burdens or added to them. And explore how intimacy touched, shaped and sustained people through life. Or, in cases gone wrong, we'll learn what it took to persevere, adapt, and begin to trust again.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS MONTH
- DJ set 🎧
- Uncensored Storytelling 🫀
- Live music performances 🎤

BUILDING A MOVEMENT OF 'UNITY IN DIVERSITY':
RAWs are nights that feed your soul, not drain your bank account. That’s why tickets are PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN.
Think of it as an honesty system, with tickets ‘from free’, and further tiers of £3, £5, £10, £12, £15.
The highest priced tickets offset our free tickets, and make sure RAW is a vibrant event where everyone can find belonging, regardless of circumstances.
We ask that you select the ticket tier that’s within your means.
Remember, releasing free tickets to RAWs is a form of revolution for us - not an indication of something thrown together. RAWs are highly curated and tailored to the host space. We are completely independent and boot-strapped to preserve the intention and integrity of the event. So every pound makes a difference.
Together, we can create a world with no price tag on joy, pleasure, and belonging. Where quality of life is a birthright, not a privilege.
THE RAW ORIGIN STORY
RAW started life among inner circles & word of mouth. An “if you know you know” sorta vibe, before going public. But the backstory of this unique event goes back even further, stemming from WDN founder, Christine's insatiable curiosity and search for relatable, human experiences.
Today, RAWs have come off the streets and away from kitchen tables – and take place monthly in some of the coolest venues across the city, building a patchwork tribe of good humans, doing good things.
