Peggy Seeger, now aged 78, was born in New York City.

Best known for her 3 decades long year partnership with Ewan MacColl, she has in recent years been a solo performer. This was the third time I’ve seen her live (including a 70th Birthday concert when she was joined on stage by her three children, brother Mike and half brother Pete.
