The Raw Sessions

Résumé
The Raw Sessions (also known as The Raw Sessions with Sony Ericsson) is an Irish interactive music television programme broadcast on RTÉ Two in 2009. The country's first ever rockumentary series, it is presented by Dez Ryan and follows the attempts of eight musical acts to write and record an original composition in the space of twelve hours. It is produced by Lotus Media. The Raw Sessions commenced broadcast on 12 May 2009. Episodes are broadcast late on Tuesday nights and repeated late on Saturday nights. Each week the two recorded tracks are made available for download, with downloads counting towards the Irish Singles Chart. Tracks were recorded in destinations such as Sun Studios in Temple Bar, Dublin, Windmill Lane Studios on Ringsend Road, Dublin, and Grouse Lodge in County Westmeath. There was also a celebrity episode which featured more established musicians recording a cover version for charity. Eight acts took part in the show. These were Dirty Epics, Hoarsebox, The Infomatics, Majella Murphy, Noise Control, R.S.A.G., Sickboy and Sweet Jane. The four acts which made it to the semi-finals recorded a track at Grouse Lodge. The top three from that vote progressed to the final at the Button Factory in Dublin. The winning artist was awarded the title Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year. Two acts per episode have one day each to write and record an original musical piece. A public vote is used to decide who progresses to the semi-final. Four acts compete in the semi-final and perform at a live show in the Button Factory venue. The three acts with the most votes feature in the final broadcast and the one with the most wins the title of Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year. The first episode was broadcast on 12 May 2009 and featured Sweet Jane and R.S.A.G. who recorded the tracks "Black Eyes" and "All Along That Road" respectively at Sun Studios. Commentary was provided by Sunday Tribune journalist Una Mullally, Phantom FM presenter Sinister Pete and Hot Press editor Niall Stokes. R.S.A.G.
