Not sure 'bout Pete*, but I'm with you on Ewen McColl.

*I'm having trouble seeing Pete in a tie.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

... and many others. At that time, he apparently routinely wore a tie.

Pete wore a tie a lot in those days, but I don't think that's him in the photo.

That may be Peggy Seeger sitting at Ewan's knee.

Behind Peggy Seeger I think it's Davy Graham, and behind Davy it could well be a young Bert Jansch? Behind Bert it looks like Pete Seeger's forehead and five string banjo there sticking up to the side. To the left of the sleeping Ewan McColl is Ian Parr, singer, & to the right of Seamus is Fitzroy Coleman, calypso singer & guitarist from Trinidad.
