Peggy Seeger is a superb songmaker and singer of Anglo-American traditional song, an outstanding multi-instrumentalist, a feminist speaker of wit and insight. She's a legend in her own time, with over 50 years of concerts, 20 solo albums, 100 joint recordings with other singers and 200 original songs, among which are Balland of Springhill and Gonna Be An Engineer. Peggy accompanies herself on guitar, banjo, Appalachian dulcimer, autoharp and piano.

Expect an impressive combination of traditional and contemporary songs about animals, smoking, murder, politics, homornes, jobs, peacemongering, children and other people, love and lovers, the earth and ecology. Peggy will be joined onstage by Irene Pyper-Scott and instrumentalist Nathan Torvik.

The evening will open with special guests Cairde, Nelson's popular female Celtic "group of friends".

This concert is a benefit for the Nelson Women's Centre: a growth, healing and resource centre serving over 4000 women each year in the Nelson Tasman region. BOOK TICKETS NOW: we are advertising nationally and this is Peggy's only 2010 concert in New Zealand!
