Post your questions for folk music legend Peggy Seeger
As she marks her 90th birthday with a UK tour and new album, the singer and activist will answer your questions
After a long career which has established her as one of the most significant folk singers on both sides of the Atlantic, Peggy Seeger is about to celebrate her 90th birthday with a final tour and album – and will answer your questions.
