Peggy will be in conversation with Eliza Carthy – a folk legend from a younger generation, beloved of staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, and President of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.
Now in her late 80s, Peggy’s light burns as brightly as ever. A multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, 5-string banjo, autoharp, English concertina and Appalachian dulcimer), she is lauded for her feminist and political songs and her co-creation of The Radio Ballads. She has made 24 solo recordings and participated in over a hundred more.
“Peggy Seeger’s life is the stuff of a rip-roaring blockbuster…an illuminating, witty, revelatory and unflinchingly candid account, presented in vivid vignettes and nonchalant anecdotes, often funny, sometimes shocking”’ Mojo Magazine
Doors open at 7pm, on-stage at 7.30pm.
