BBC Music Day

A UK-wide annual celebration of music that aims to unite communities and generations through their love of music. In 2017 in conjunction with the British Plaque Trust, 47 plaques celebrating a wide range of musicians, venues and events were erected Nationwide. We cannot find the significance of this number, and wonder why they didn't round it up to an even 50.
