Listen to Peggy Seeger: In Her Prime.

"In this gentle, intimate conversation with Sara Parker [...] Peggy reveals how music has brought her salvation from the tragedies she has lived through and why, at the age of 75, she realises she's at her happiest and in her prime."

Jane Anderson, Radio Times Choice, 12 October 2010

"Peggy Seeger - In Her Prime was a delight. Almost everything Seeger said was an inspirational insight or a slogan fit for a T-Shirt at least [...] What made this such a rewarding encounter to eavesdrop was that Parker and Seeger go back a long way: Parker's father, Charles, worked on the Radio Ballads with Seeger and MacColl. Seeger treated her interviewer like a much-loved younger sister, while Parker sounds in awe of the 75-year-old singer, but knows her well. It's a terrific place to start."
