This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the song 'Happy Xmas (War is Over)' by John & Yoko and the Plastic Ono Band, and to celebrate this milestone Yoko Ono and Sean Ono Lennon have presented seven music-related organisations with hand-cut acetates of the record to help them raise funds for their individual good causes. One of the seven is Collage Arts, based just down the line in Wood Green's Cultural Quarter.
