Folk lovers will get a triple treat at the Peggy Seeger show in Morecambe on December 3 as Martin Carthy, Norma Waterson and Mike Waterson will be her special guests.

Born in 1935 into one of North America's foremost folk music families, Peggy was schooled in the classic European music traditions and learned to play piano, guitar, five string banjo, autoharp, Appalachian dulcimer and English concertina as a child.

She cut her first record at the age of 18 and in her early twenties became a professional touring performer.

In 1959 she settled in London with her life partner Ewan MacColl to whom she bore three children.

The MacColl/Seeger duo was at the forefront of the English folk scene for the next three decades.

In the mid 70's she began to concentrate on feminist and ecological issues, writing songs such as The Ballad Of Springhill and I'm Gonna Be An Engineer.

After Ewan's death in 1989, she joined with Irene Scott to form the singing duo No Spring Chickens and in 1994 returned to the USA, making only rare appearances in the UK.

At the gig at the Dome, Peggy will be joined by some of the most respected names in English folk music today - Martin Carthy, who is renowned for his interpretation of traditional song and his wife Norma Waterson, who's voice is regarded by many as the finest in England today.

A late addition is Mike Waterson, Norma's brother and a member of The Waterson's group.

This is the first time that The Watersons have performed in any formal way since the death of Lal Waterson.

Peggy Seeger and guests will be at the Dome in Morecambe on Saturday, December 3. Tickets are £13.50- £11.50 - to book, call 01524 582803.
