Thanks Ed - weirdly I saw this moving performance just the other week when researching Ewan MacColl for an XR 'history corner' on the kinder mass trespass: https://rebellion.earth/2019/12/09/history-corner-kinder-mass-trespass-1932/ It was included in the 1970 beeb documentary 'The Ballad of Ewan MacColl' which aired shortly after his death:
I guess since this and other footage in the docu shows only Peggy and other family members that it was recorded after Ewan died. So poignant to hear her singing those words of his, basically describing their relationship as far as I can tell, so soon after losing him. Made of stern stuff, that woman - I would've been in a puddle on the floor by the end!
cheers,
I
