Description
Featuring Peggy Seeger, Martin Carthy, Norma Waterson, Eliza Carthy, Seth Lakeman
Musician, songwriter, activist, broadcaster, actor and playwright, Ewan MacColl was a prolific individual but it is his unapologetically political folk songs for which he is best remembered. Passionate about folk music not just as a tradition, but as living music that represented people’s loves, lives, hopes and fears, it’s unsurprising that his tender yet powerful songs such as First Time Ever I Saw Your Face remain as poignant today as they ever were.
This special concert marks 100 years since his birth. Guiding you through MacColl’s huge songbook, his sons Calum and Neill MacColl, wife Peggy Seeger and guests singers present new arrangements of MacColl’s music, a one-off chance to hear his beautiful music and heartfelt lyrics expanded by a whole host of voices and instruments.
Price: £19.50, £24.50, £30.50
