Description

Dive into the life of legendary bassist Dave Pegg, known as Peggy, who shaped British folk rock and progressive rock with Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull. Joining Fairport in 1969, Pegg navigated tragedy and reinvention, sharing communal living, marathon rehearsals, and a new sound. From The Shadows' twang to Fairport's classic albums and Jethro Tull's fifteen-year run, Pegg's journey is filled with wild stories and music history. Now, he focuses on the Cropredy Convention, a festival that's become a vital part of the band's legacy.
