PEGGY SEEGER IN CONVERSATION

Saturday 3 March 2018 | 1pm

First Time Ever is Peggy Seeger's clear-eyed, luminous and truthful memoir.

See Peggy in conversation and sharing music tracks and film archive.

Born in New York City, Peggy Seeger enjoyed a childhood steeped in music and politics. Her father was musicologist Charles Seeger; her mother, the composer Ruth Crawford; and brother Pete, a writer of protest songs. It was in England, however, that she met the man with whom she would share the next thirty-three years, Ewan MacColl. As Ewan's muse, Peggy inspired one of the twentieth century's greatest love songs "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." Together, Peggy and Ewan helped lay the foundations of the British folk revival.

Join Peggy for a lunchtime "Writers and Readers" session. This will be her first and only such session in New Zealand before returning to the UK.

Please note the seating is allocated for this event.
