About this concert
Peggy Seeger, the grande dame of American and British Folk music, embarks on her last ever concert tour alongside her sons, Neill and Calum MacColl, in celebration of her 90th Birthday in June 2025.
Peggy has been performing for over seventy-five years and will showcase some of her best loved songs from across her extraordinary career, as well as new songs from her final album (out Spring 2025). Her songs remain uncompromising, and her wit and delivery are as sharp as ever.
Neill and Calum MacColl are superb musicians, sharing unique onstage chemistry with their mother. Expect whip-smart humour & family banter, blood harmonies and audience participation, alongside world-class musicianship.
This will be the last opportunity to hear Peggy in concert so do not miss this.
“Peggy Seeger inspires; as funny, feisty and angry as ever” The Guardian

Peggy Seeger Biography
“Peggy Seeger inspires hope for a world free from war, poverty and ignorance.” Arthur Scargill, leader of the Miners' Union.
“Peggy Seeger has made a great contribution not just to music but to feminism and to political activism. She’s a woman of the left and dear to my heart. She’s my heroine.” Dame Helena Kennedy QC
“I’ve been a fan of Peggy’s since I was a wee thing and both me and my family have really cherished the experience of working with her over the years and hope to for many more.” Rufus Wainwright
“This sparky woman has done so much, lived so much, crammed so much into her life. Most of all, she has informed our appreciation of British and North American folk music, like very, very few people have. Then factor in her multiple roles in illuminating the folk, political song and feminist scenes and how her songs have enriched the folk idiom, and you have somebody worth getting amazed about.” Ken Hunt, fRoots Magazine
“One of the seminal figures of the British folk revival and widely regarded as something of a firebrand.” Daily Telegraph
“A troublemaker and an icon…. ineluctable components of what defines the music that defines us.” Metroland
“There’s still plenty of the mischievous reprobate – not to mention the untamed rebel – about her.” Colin Irwin, The Guardian
“Radiant, gracious and gutsy … a truly positive force.” Karine Polwart, singer
“A vintage and unique performer, carrying a rare but still developing tradition.” Irish Times
“She must be one of the most complete artists around today.” Belfast Telegraph
“She’s a born communicator and educator, and a genuinely consummate artist (singer, songmaker, musician) of unparalleled integrity, blessed with excellent taste and judgement. A very special person…”David Kidman, Journalist
"I can’t recommend (Everything Changes) highly enough. It’s quite breath-taking and an album you simply can’t manage without.” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
“She’s wonderful, she’s my hero” Cerys Matthews , BBC 6Music broadcaster and singer
