Ewan
MacColl |
|
| Born Jimmy Miller, Ewan probably had as much influence on British folk music as Pete Seeger did on American. Born in Scotland and later living in London, Ewan was originally a playwright during the 40s, but during the early 50s turned to promoting British traditional music during the folk revival in the UK. In the late 50s, he and his wife Peggy Seeger collaborated on a series of radio-ballad productions for the BBC, from which we get legions of his fine compositions. He was an active collector of songs, and he and Peggy have published a number of ballad books, both of collected songs and their own works. He is best known as a songwriter with dozens of great songs, (many of which were co-written with Peggy) of which "The First Time Ever", "Shoals of Herring", "Sweet Thames Flow Softly", "Dirty Old Town", and "Ballad of Springhill" are just a few. | |

seriously, he has released a number of albums containing both his own and

inspiration. Composer of: "And I Love You So", "Empty Chairs", |
