Billed as ‘An Evening of Song and Conversation’ the event is part of her 2018 tour and will feature memorable musical performances by Peggy’s two sons Calum and Neil. Now in her 80s, Peggy remains the undisputed queen of folk and political song, her performances, charisma and wit remain undiminished.

She will perform some of the songs that have meant the most to her over the years and talk about the memoir that is her reflection on an extraordinary life.
