Peggy Seeger, musician and Greenham Woman, has released her final album ‘Teleology’.
The final album from Peggy is a fitting tribute to over 70 years as a working musician, feminist and activist. This is no apologetic or quiet farewell – as we might expect, she’s going out with a thoughtful, philosophical and very satisfying BANG. Peggy’s voice and song writing are still major forces to be reckoned with.
Peggy wrote the iconic song ‘Carry Greenham Home‘, which then became both the name of the film made by Beeban Kidron about the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp and an unofficial anthem for the Camp.

Peggy says:
“Teleology is the belief that everything that has happened is an arrow aimed at a target called now, and on this album I am celebrating both the now and the timeline that has led me here. The eleven songs represent some of the pillars that have sustained my life and career. My sons, Neill and Calum, and daughter-in-law Kate St John co-wrote some of the songs with me, sang and created many of the musical accompaniments that give me so much pleasure on this album.
My heartfelt thanks also go to Roy Dodds for his delicate drumming, to Ben Nicholls for his way-down-in-your-boots vocals and bass lines, to my daughter Kitty MacColl for beautiful graphics and design, using the lovely photo taken by Vicki Sharp and to my manager and other daughter-in-law Kerry Harvey-Piper for holding all the threads together. This is a true family affair.”
Peggy’s 25-date concert tour in May and June 2025 will be her very last. After the tour, Peggy will retire from recording and live performance. These shows are not to be missed – we’re sure they will be moving, uplifting and inspiring.
