A live celebration of all the great songs inspired by and written about this wonderful city of ours

Whilst Hollywood movies may, without fail, choose to use 'London Calling' on the soundtrack of any movie where the characters visit London, there are actually a plethora of brilliant tunes inspired by our capital.

Chris Difford of Squeeze concludes the Greenwich Summer Sessions 2011 with 'songs in the Key of London, featuring the cream of musical talent coming together to celebrate London in song.

So far confirmed are Gary Kemp (Spandau Ballet), Ali Campbell (UB40), Mark Nevin (Fairground Attraction), Boo Hewerdine (The Bible), the Godfather of Funk Pee Wee Ellis (James Brown), and folk artists Chris Wood and Katherine Williams who will all be part of the evening’s programme. The artists are spoilt for choice with just how many historic songs that have been written about London.

From classic pop like Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks and Itchycoo Park by the Small Faces, to folk cornerstones like Streets Of London by Ralph McTell and London Conversation by John Martyn, to punk classics such as London Calling by The Clash, and Difford’s own Trafalgar Square – the programme is infinitely varied.
