Stick in the Wheel, Sam Carter and Lisa Knapp are among the folk artists coming together for Songs for London.
The live music event, taking place at Cecil Sharp House on 3 November and organised by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), is one of three concerts presented by The London Society to celebrate the 150th anniversary of English Heritage’s Blue Plaque.
According to the promoters, the events will celebrate those folk collectors memorialised with Blue Plaques including Cecil Sharp and Percy Grainger, and the enormous contribution that musicians and composers have made to the life and culture of London.
This series of concerts is also the campaign launch to secure more Blue Plaques particularly for those from the world of folk and jazz music.
The gig, promoted by the EFDSS, will be part of the London Folk and Roots Festival live music programme.
Other highlights from the EFDSS programme for autumn include an evening with folk icon Peggy Seeger on 15 September, a tribute to John Renbourn on 22 September and the return of Wesley Stace and his Cabinet of Wonders on 19 November.
