First Farewell Album

Reviews from ‘First Farewell’

MOJO 4 stars (Colin Irwin) - Mojo Magazine #1 Folk Album of 2021

Seeger’s Indian summer is growing ever warmer. The entirely original material tackles pertinent modern issues without remotely sounding stern or preachy. Affectingly intimate.

First Time Ever CD cover shot.jpg

“The songs: I am theirs and they are mine while I’m here. I call them mine since I have nurtured them like children and brought them forth with me in time. Like my physical children, they form my core. I revel in them, tasting the words as I sing, entering earlier eras and other people’s lives.” Peggy Seeger

Praise: "This sparky woman has done so much, lived so much, crammed so much in. Most of all, she has informed our appreciation of British and North American folk music, like very, very few people have.Then factor in her multiple roles in illuminating the folk, political song and feminist scenes and how her songs have enriched the folk idiom, and you have somebody worth getting amazed about."
- Ken Hunt / fRoots
