Peggy Seeger

There is so much to say about Peggy Seeger: a monumental figure in folk music in the UK and USA; still writing and touring at age 85; an unbroken 68-year career; a constant musical innovator (at aged 77 she was a vocalist on dance single ‘England’ by Broadcaster that became a Radio 1 Record of the Week); a style icon (designer Bella Freud named a sweater after her in 2019); numerous international awards; an active campaigner on the environment, social and feminist issues.

Foremost, Peggy Seeger is a passionate advocate of the ability of music and community to change lives, with storytelling running through her bones and an unshakable belief that music is activism.
