  Our friends at EFDSS (the English Folk Dance and Song Society) at Cecil Sharp House in Camden have a concert on 3 November to mark the 150th anniversary of English Heritage’s Blue Plaque scheme. Performed by a stellar group of London based folk artists including Stick in the Wheel, Sam Carter, Lisa Knapp and Jack Harris, Songs for London celebrates those folk collectors memorialised with Blue Plaques, Cecil Sharp and Percy Grainger, and the enormous contribution that musicians and composers have made to the life and culture of London. The concert is part of the London Folk and Roots Festival. Tickets cost just £15 (£10 concessions) and are available here.
