Undervalued as a songwriter - especially in the shadow of MacColl,
Heading for Home is but one of scores of valuable songs that Seeger has
written, many grafted onto or from the living tradition. Her themes are
love and betrayal, human solitude and need for affection, as well as
the broad sweeps of socialist, feminist values and ideas. I looked
across the amber light of the stone, timber and whitewash Market House,
heard the incessant, sleety rain on the roof and witnessed an audience
enthralled, left to sing on their own and all heading for home with
thoughts and emotions drawn from deep, deep wells. Great gig, Peggy! - Francis Devine, Irish Times
I was at Cambridge Folk Festival this year, and you were my highlight! Listening to you talk and sing about the importance of making conscious life decisions and the impact our seemingly isolated, individual decisions have on the rest of the world really resonated with me, as did your quiet approach to advocating for justice. I was deeply moved, and it was a joy to listen to you. Thank you so much. - Leah x
