Born in 1935, Peggy's family connections are well-known in folk and classical music circles. Her best-known compositions are Gonna Be an Engineer and The Ballad of Springhill (the latter rapidly becoming regarded as a traditional song).

The MacColl-Seeger work was prodigious in its scope. From 1959 onward, they encouraged and set standards for the burgeoning UK folk revival; they trained other singers and involved them in political-musical documentary. Their work was halted by Ewan's death in 1989.

Peggy's current album, Everything Changes, released September 2014, is produced by her son Calum MacColl (Ronan Keating, Eddi Reader), the album features musicians Simon Edwards (Talk Talk, Kirsty MacColl), James Hallawell (The Waterboys, David Gray), Martyn Barker (Shriekback, Goldfrapp) and Kate St John (Dream Academy, Nick Drake).
