PEGGY SEEGER
View the Peggy Seeger Website

Born into one of North America's foremost folk music families, with over 50 years of performance experience and over 100 collaborative and solo recordings, Peggy Seeger is by far one of the most consummate artists performing today. Coupled with a sharp sense of humour, her performances are a diverse and spellbinding presentation of traditional Anglo-American songs and ballads, stories, poetry and finely crafted contemporary songs. A highly skilled multi-instrumentalist, Peggy's songs are accompanied on 5-string banjo, guitar, English concertina, autoharp and piano.

Peggy's latest album Three Score and Ten, is a 2 CD distillation of recordings from her 70th birthday concert, held in 2005 in the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. It features Billy Bragg, Martin and Eliza Carthy, Norma Waterson, Calum and Neill MacColl, Mike and Pete Seeger, to name but a few. A stirring tribute, it includes instrumentals, Peggy's poems and songs, and above all a festive atmosphere.

JUDY SMALL
Visit the Judy Small Website

Judy Small needs no introduction and is a Brunswick festival favourite and is among the few artists appearing this year who also performed at the first Brunswick festival in 1989. Judy has been active again on the touring circuit with her late 2007 national tour to celebrate her 25th. year 'in the biz' and to launch her latest recording Live at the Artery. Peggy and Judy are two of the most enlightened and respected women's voices in world folk music, there's a definite early booking warning on this show.
