![]() ![]() “Seeger (has) an uncanny ability to dissolve the gap between artist and audience.” The Irish Times “A trailblazer, both in her musical life and in her fiercely independent spirit.” Evening Standard ![]() As Ewan MacColl’s partner and muse, she was the inspiration for MacColl’s classic ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ (the title of her much-praised recent memoir) yet this is a woman who has consistently followed her own path with passion and vigour. She has made 23 solo recordings and participated in over a hundred more with other artists. Now in her 80s, her light burns as brightly as ever, with legendary live performances that might include an unaccompanied traditional ballad, followed by an anecdote from her remarkable life, before launching into a topical song about drugs, war, hormones, politicians, unions, women, love or ecology.Ī multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, 5-string banjo, autoharp, English concertina and Appalachian dulcimer), she is lauded for her feminist and political songs. Peggy Seeger needs little introduction, being a totally unique artist who has carved a special place in the folk revival of both the UK and the USA. ![]()
