Iconic artists. Legendary small venues. Unforgettable nights.
One-off performances with your favorite artists in intimate settings. Raising money to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children living through war.
Right now, is the most dangerous time to be a child.
1 in 5 children is estimated to be currently living through or fleeing from war.
Many are anxious and scared. They have lost their homes, their books, and toys. Separated from their friends and loved ones. The sound of explosions and gunfire is never far away.
But there is hope, War Child is working to put the pieces back together.
War Child is there to ensure that separated children find their way home, that they receive the mental health care to recover from the trauma, that they can just be a child once again.
Through BRITs Week, some of the biggest names in music will play a series of incredibly special shows in support of War Child and their work to rebuild lives shattered by war. In unique and intimate venues, your favorite artists will be performing.
Because no child should be part of war. Ever.
Rory Graham rose to prominence under the Rag’n’Bone Man moniker in 2016 with the release of “Human”; showcasing a characteristic blend of traditional blues and hip hop and introducing the world to his powerfully deep baritone voice. Having won the 2017 BRIT’s ‘British Breakthrough Act’ and receiving the BRIT’s ‘Critics’ Choice Award’ in the same year, Graham cemented his success with critics, following the record-breaking release of his 4x platinum #1 album “Human”(including singles “Skin”, “Grace”, “As You Are”) with a plethora of international accolades, and a further BRIT Award for ‘Best Single of the Year’, with the title track in 2018.
Early in his career, Graham built a loyal fan base as part of the Brighton-based hip-hop collective Rum Committee and through his initial releases and collaborations with High Focus Records. His popularity has continued to grow, leading to sold-out tours worldwide. Since signing with Columbia (Sony Music) in 2014, Rag’n’Bone Man has collaborated with renowned artists including Gorillaz (The Apprentice), Bastille & Skunk Anansie (Remains), and Logic (Broken People).
Graham’s second album with Columbia, “Life by Misadventure”, was released in May 2021, reaching #1 and staying in the UK Top 10 for seven weeks. The album features singles“All You Ever Wanted”, “Alone”, “Crossfire” and the widely successful collaboration with P!nk “Anywhere Away From Here”.
He also topped international charts with Calvin Harris on the 2019 hit single “Giant”, which reached #2 on the UK singles chart and stayed there for 5 weeks and earned the pair an Ivor Novello Award. In February 2024, the duo released their second single together “Lovers In A Past Life” which has since amassed over 135million streams worldwide.
On 24th May 2024, Graham released the poignant and personal single “What Do You Believe In?”, which was acclaimed as the Hottest Record by Radio 1’s New Music Show. The single served as a precursor to the album of the same name, which was released on 18th October 2024 and includes further standout singles “Rush Of Blood”, “Pocket”, and “Put A Little Hurt On Me”. Graham embarked on the sold-out UK/EU leg of the “What Do You Believe In?” Tour at the end of last year and delivered performances on The Graham Norton Show, Children In Need, and Team GB Homecoming. Rag’n’Bone Man is set to continue the momentum in 2025 with touring around the UK, Europe, Australia and more; promising to bring his powerful live performances to fans worldwide once again.
