Ewan MacColl and A.L.Lloyd brought about the 1950s revival of traditional folk music in Britain. MacColl remained our most famous folk singer for the next thirty years, with songs like "Dirty Old Town" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". His autobiography, completed with the help of his singer/wife Peggy Seeger shortly before his death in 1989, describes his working-class childhood in Salford, his acting career, the pioneering Radio Ballads for the BBC and his family and friends, including Brendan Behan.
