The Northumbrian suffragette, Emily Wilding Davison, the Kenyan environmentalist, Wangari Matthai, and an early musical hero was/is Peggy Seeger.
Absolutely. It seems to me that any woman who doesn't want to be treated like a doormat, and wishes equality in all things - economically, artistically, physically, socially - deserves the name. Proud of it.
It will include instrumental music, reflecting the Northumbrian tradition which came from Nancy's father, the piper, Ron Elliott; fabulous tunes like 'Me Mother's Jig' and ' 93 Not Out', and songs like 'The Shoemakker'.
