Two prinicple and influential figures in the British
folk-roots scene, who've seen action in Fairport Convention,
Jethro Tull and more join forces this summer
Dave Pegg from Fairport Convention/Dylan Project &
fellow Dylan Project band member PJ Wright undertake a UK
tour this summer called "A Night Off With Peggy &
PJ".
I hope the title explains our approach," says PJ.
"There will be a mix of my songs from Hedge of Sound,
some Little Johnny England material, some of Peggy's songs
and tunes from various sources, and a smattering of Sandy
Denny and Fairport. We might even throw in a bit of Jethro
Tull. Alongside this original material, we hope to play
some cover versions of our favourite songs down the years."
The acoustic instrumentation will include guitars, bazouki,
mandolin, dobro, harmonica, bass – but PJ promises
not to play banjo, fiddle or sax. "Add Peggy's skills
as a raconteur and one or two of my duff jokes and it should
be an idiosyncratic, rocking evening of virtuoso fun for
nearly all the family," says PJ.
