Peggy Seeger With Neill & Calum MacColl – 90th Birthday Farewell Tour
Advance Price: £26
Courthouse Friends Pre-Sale from 27th November 24, General sale from 29th November 24.
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 and 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 out.
“Peggy Seeger inspires; as funny, feisty and angry as ever” The Guardian
“Peggy’s a vital presence, ready with a quip or a homily … Through their warmth, unity and ease of communication, she and her sons reaffirm folk song’s status as the bringer of news and its ability to address any issue.” The Times
“Folk music with a raunchy wink; think Victoria Wood meets Dory Previn. Peggy imparts her wise and optimistic worldview with joy and a wonderful lightness of touch – a masterclass in storytelling through music.” Daily Telegraph
