  • Dave Pegg (born David Pegg, 2 November 1947 in Acocks Green, Birmingham, England) is a bassist/multi-instrumentalist. After playing guitar in school bands, he became a professional musician in the mid 1960s. He failed an audition as guitarist with The Uglys, a Birmingham-based rock band led by Steve Gibbons, but was offered the job of bassist. Pegg also played double bass for a short while with Birmingham based folk ensemble, The Ian Campbell Folk Group. During this stint he met Birmingham fiddle-player Dave Swarbrick, who introduced Pegg to Fairport Convention in 1970. Ashley Hutchings, the band's founder and bassist, had left to form Steeleye Span and Pegg took over. Pegg's tenure with Fairport has been unbroken since then. When Fairport first disbanded in 1979, Pegg joined the rock band Jethro Tull and he played with them for much of the 1980s. However, Fairport reformed as a full-time band in 1985 with Pegg still on bass. In 1987 Jethro Tull toured the U.S. with Fairport Convention as support act: Pegg played in both bands at each concert. Pegg has released two solo albums: The Cocktail Cowboy Goes It Alone (1983) and Birthday Party (1998), both on Woodworm Records. Dave also plays mandolin and bouzouki. In 2007 he recorded "Galileo's Apology" as a duo with guitarist PJ Wright. PJ had been lead guitar with the Steve Gibbons Band. The album was a collection of pop and folk-rock songs and instrumentals. Since 1979, Fairport has staged Cropredy Festival, a three-day music event in Oxfordshire. Until recently it was organised by Pegg and his former wife Christine: since their divorce, the band as a whole organises the festival, now called Fairport's Cropredy Convention. In 2007 "A Box of Pegg's" was released. The 4 CDs contained a career summary of his work with Fairport Convention, Crawdaddy, Richard Thompson, Mike Heron, Steve Ashley, Jethro Tull, The Ian Campbell Folk Group and others. Pegg now lives in Banbury, Oxfordshire. He has a daughter, Stephanie, who works as a PR consultant: his son, Matt Pegg, is a bassist who has played with, among others, Procol Harum and Francis Dunnery." (en)

  • Dave Pegg (* 2. November 1947 in Birmingham) ist ein bekannter britischer Folkrock-Sänger und -Bassist. Pegg arbeitete zunächst in einem Versicherungsbüro. Als Sohn eines Sängers und Enkel eines Banjo-Spielers zog es ihn jedoch schließlich zur Musik hin und er brachte sich selbst bei Gitarre zu spielen. Nachdem er eine Zeit lang bei Roy Everett's Blueshounds als Leadgitarrist gespielt hatte, wechselte er zum Bass und schloss sich den Uglys unter der Leitung von Steve Gibbons an. Inzwischen erwärmte Pegg sich mehr und mehr für Folkmusik und begann in den frühen 1960ern in Ian Campbells Band Bass und Mandoline zu spielen. 1969 wurde er dann Mitglied von Fairport Convention, bei denen er bis zur Trennung 1979 blieb. Danach ersetzte er John Glascock bei Jethro Tull. Pegg spielte auf insgesamt sieben Jethro-Tull-Alben. Nebenbei gründete er mit seiner Frau Christine Woodworm Records, wo er 1984 sein Solo-Debüt The Cocktail Cowboy Goes It Alone veröffentlichte. Gemeinsam etablierten sie das alljährlich stattfindende Festival in Cropredy/ Oxfordshire. Von 1978 bis 1985 galt es als "annual reunion" für Fairport Convention, danach gab es wieder regelmäßig Tourneen der Band mit einer neuen Besetzung. Nachdem sich Pegg nun wieder voll auf Fairport Convention konzentrierte, verließ er 1995 Jethro Tull, wo er durch Jonathan Noyce ersetzt wurde. 1998 erschien ein zweites Solo-Album Peggs namens Birthday Party. Seit 1998 spielt Pegg neben seinen anderen Verpflichtungen noch mit Steve Gibbons in der Band The Dylan Project. Mit dem Gitarristen dieser Band, P.J. Wright, tritt Pegg seit 2006 als Duo auf und es wurden bereits zwei Alben veröffentlicht. Sein Sohn Matt Pegg ist Bassist bei Procol Harum." (de)
  • Dave Pegg, född 2 november 1947 i Birmingham, England, är en brittisk basist, kompositör och sångare. Efter ha spelat i ett antal mindre kända grupper i Birmingham och under en kort period i Ian Campbell Folk Group ersatte Pegg 1970 Ashley Hutchings i Fairport Convention, en grupp han fortfarande spelar i. Under 1980-talet spelade Pegg parallellt i gruppen Jethro Tull. Numera är han förutom Fairport medlem i The Dylan Project, som leds av sångaren Steve Gibbons. Pegg har gjort en soloskiva, The Cocktail Cowboy Goes Alone, och 2007 kom en samlingsbox med material från hans karriär, A Box of Peggs." (sv)
  • Pegg diventò musicista di professione verso la metà degli anni sessanta. In questo periodo fallì la sua prima audizione come chitarrista per The Uglys, un gruppo rock guidato da Steve Gibbons il quale però gli offrì un posto come bassista. Il 1970 è un anno particolarmente significativo nella vita di Pegg in quanto entra a far parte dei Fairport Convention. Infatti Ashley Hutchings, fondatore e bassista della band, abbandonò la stessa per creare gli Steeleye Span e così Pegg lo sostituì. Nel 1979 i Fairport si dissolvono e Pegg si unisce ai Jethro Tull come sostituto di John Glascock, deceduto nel novembre di quell'anno. I Fairport decidono però di riunirsi nel 1985 e Pegg li segue senza però abbandonare completamente i Jethro Tull. Anzi nel 1987 nasce una sorta di gemellaggio fra le due band in seguito ad un concerto dei Jethro negli USA con i Fairport che aprivano i concerti. Attualmente Pegg vive a Banbury, nell'Oxfordshire. Dalla moglie Christine (da cui ha divorziato) ha avuto due figli: Stephanie e Matt, anch'egli bassista di buon livello." (it)

  • Dave Pegg (ur. 2 listopada 1947 w Birmingham), basista angielski. Jest jednym z najwybitniejszych brytyjskich basistów folk-rockowych. Jako zawodowy muzyk karierę rozpoczął w połowie lat sześćdziesiątych, grając na gitarze w lokalnych zespołach w Birmingham. Po raz pierwszy jako basista występował w zespole The Ian Campbell Folk Group. Tam też poznał Dave'a Swarbricka, skrzypka, który od początku 1969 występował w zespole Fairport Convention. Namówiony przez Swarbricka przyłączył się do zespołu na początku 1970, zastępując jego założyciela, basistę Ashleya Hutchingsa, który opuścił zespół, by założyć folk-rockową formację Steeleye Span. Od tego czasu Pegg jest nieprzerwanie muzykiem Fairport Convention. Gdy zespół Fairport Convention rozpadł się na 6 lat w 1979, Pegg dołączył jako basista do rockowego zespołu Jethro Tull, występując jako jego członek do 1995. W 1985 Fairport Convention odnowiło działalność, z Peggiem jako basistą, który przez kolejne 10 lat był członkiem obu zespołów. W 1987 zespół Jethro Tull pojechał w trasę koncertową po Stanach Zjednoczonych z Fairport Convention jako zespołem towarzyszącym, a Pegg występował na każdym koncercie zarówno jako członek jednego, jak i drugiego zespołu. Oprócz gitary basowej Pegg, zarówno na nagraniach jak i podczas koncertów, często wykorzystuje mandolinę. Od 1979 Pegg organizuje coroczny festiwal folk-rockowy w Cropredy (do 2004 jako "Cropredy Festival" wraz z żoną Christine, współpracę z żoną zakończył w związku z rozpadem małżeństwa; od 2005 organizacją zajmuje się cały zespół Fairport Convention, a festiwal nosi nazwę "Fairport's Cropredy Convention"). Dave Pegg na stałe mieszka w Banbury, w hrabstwie Oxfordshire w Anglii. Ma córkę Stephanie, która pracuje jako konsultant PR, oraz syna Matta Pegga, również basistę, który występował jako członek między innymi Jethro Tull (1991) oraz Procol Harum (od 2003)." (pl)
