jazzy_davePeggy Seeger - The Invisible Woman
Peggy met Ewan in a folk pub in Chelsea London back in the late fifties and she fell in love with him and they stayed together till his death. Had many children including Kirsty. Peggy is now 86 years old.
Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger - Ballad of the Carpenter (1960)
A beautiful song about Jesus as the first socialist of the history written by Ewan MacColl and registered together with Peggy Seeger for their LP "The New Briton Gazette Vol.1" in 1960 and successively registered by Phil Ochs for his album I Ain't Marching Anymore (1965). The song was previously available on YouTube only in the version of Phil Ochs and now also in the version of the authors.
Kirsty MacColl - A New England
A New England was a Top Ten single for Kirsty MacColl in 1985. Billy Bragg wrote a couple of extra verses for the song just for Kirsty.
Kirsty MacColl died prematurely in December 2000 (age 41), she was killed in a boat accident in Mexico. She pushed one of her sons away from the boat, but she got hit and killed by it. In my opinion, Kirsty died a hero.
Kirsty MacColl - There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears he's Elvis (6 55 special)
RIP Kirsty and Ewan.
ENJOY
