    Peggy Seeger!

    Don't know anything about any of the others, but still. Peggy feckin' Seeger!

    (Proudest moment on Mudcat: inspiring Eliza Carthy to sign herself "eliza 'f' c", for very much the same reason. Long-ish story.)

    I agree - Peggy Seeger is a legend. The last time I saw her perform was at an anti-BNP demo in Leeds, so she hasn't lost the old fire.

    Great lineup. The tribute to Nanci Griffith also sounds good.
