"You
might say Peggy is an artist who needs no introduction...She
can make a traditional song sound timeless, yet as current
as if written yesterday...This is the way traditional
music remains alive." Rich
Warren The Midnight Special & Folkstage, WFMT Radio
"I've just realised I haven't said how much I enjoyed
your concert (in Perth, Australia). I love watching real
'pros' work and you're one of the best." (excerpt from a letter from
Jim Lloyd, presenter of the BBC Folk on 2 Program for 'half-a-life-time')
"Peggy Seeger: She must be one of the most complete artists
around today..." Belfast Telegraph
"The songs on Heading for Home are,
all but one, Anglo-American traditional pieces. The selection
is classic, the accompaniments simple. These are songs with
which I feel completely at home, songs which have lasted
for generations and which, I hope, will last for generations
more..." Peggy
Seeger
"Peggy Seeger, First Woman of Folk, Returns to New York
Anchored by Ballads...." Village Voice
"Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger had a profound
effect on their contemporaries in the folk music world that
can still be heard today. Oak Publications has released songbooks
that chronicle their lives and work and that are inextricably
linked together. Both deserve serious study as...they tell
us something of both artists, their co-operation and political
commitment. From Pete Seeger's foreword to The Essential Ewan MacColl,
to the closing pages of The Peggy Seeger Songbook,
there is much to learn and wonder at." Roy Bailey - April
2002, BBC Online
"Peggy Seeger ranks as one of the most important people
who ever graced and shaped the British folk scene." Ken
Hunt, 2002 Folk Roots Magazine, August 2002
