Hi. We're all likely wrapped up in the exhausting, still not quite finished election,
I thought this notice from a great artist of the Seeger family would provide an
enjoyable respite. Peggy is one of the best banjo players I've ever heard, a
wonderful song writer and performer. Tomorrow, I'll send you a fine, sometimes
surprising analysis of underpinings of the election, and what's next. I hope you
enjoy both this and that. -Ed
| | A Word from Peggy I'm delighted by the response to FOLKSPLOITATION. Many, many thanks to all of you who have bought it, listened to it and sent us some wonderful comments.
NEW CD: My new CD (as yet untitled!) will be out in the new year. We'll send you news about where you can get it as soon as we have it!
It's been a very busy time for me with touring and concerts, radio interviews and promos - and an appearance at Hal Wilner's 'Freedom Rides' concert at the Barbican in London. I was blown away by the other artists on the Freedom Rides and had a chance to play with my son Neill MacColl and with Kate St. John. I haven't been playing much over the summer because my partner Irene (aka Pyper) has been here for three months and we decided to investigate these islands for 6 weeks and Turkey for one week. The Aydos Club at Dalyan ... wonderful. We discovered where the sun goes during the English summer! But now I am 'on the road' again, playing up in the North of England and just about to go up to Scotland - you can see where I am here: http://www.peggyseeger.com/itinerary and I really look forward to seeing you there.
Keep well and warm! Peggy x | | |  Here's what they said about 'First Time Ever' and 'Folksploitation' (Broadcaster & PeggySeeger, RedGrape Records)
On the Grapevine...(See what we did there?!)
"Excellent! I love this!" Janice Long, BBC Radio 2
"It's got under my skin and I think it's utterly beautiful" Dave Gorman, Absolute Radio
"thrilling contemporary takes on old folk themes" Daily Mirror
"There's a burgeoning Scottish tradition of roots remixing ... but it's rarely done as smoothly as Folksploitation" 4 stars, i Newspaper (The Independent)
"hurtles at you in a blazing barrage of offbeats, loops and samples" Daily Telegraph
"Every track on Folksploitation is awesome and for once I don't hesitate to use that word. Folksploitation is a masterpiece." Indie Showcase
"This is sublime..... Seeger seems to be singing to us from the end of time itself - (the video) gives me goosebumps every time I watch it." Spiral Earth
"First Time Ever is the crown jewel and emerges not only in tact but with a new lease of life." Press Association
"Folksploitation is a masterpiece. Not many people get the chance to own one, so buy it.....now." Indie Showcase
"I can't recommend this highly enough. Think of a finely blended whiskey, Seeger's vocals and Broacaster's beat mixed deliver beautifully. The whole is indeed greater than the sum of the parts, and the parts are so very good!" (Cristopher Sharp, Amazon)
