Am y tro cyntaf erioed yn Nhalacharn

Mae Peggy Seeger yn un o arloeswyr byd canu gwerin – mewn cymaint o ffyrdd. Rhyngddynt, bu hi a’i brodyr, Pete a Mike, yn gyfrifol am adfywio’r diddordeb yn nhraddodiadau canu gwerin America. Roedd ei chyfraniad hi a’i gŵr Ewan McColl yn allweddol i adfywio’r diddordeb yng ngherddoriaeth gwerin Prydain hefyd. Fe recordiodd Seeger a McColl gasgliadau hynod o ganeuon gwerin traddodiadol ac fe gyfranodd hi i waith cyfansoddi’r anfarwol Radio Ballads. Ers y chwedegau bu’n un o arloeswyr canu gwerin ffeministaidd. Yn Nhalacharn bydd yn chwarae caneuon o bob cyfnod o’i gyrfa ac yn trafod ei hunangofiant newydd.
