about
Bob & Carole Pegg were a well-known British folk duo of the late 1960s. In the 1970s they were founder members of the folk-rock band Mr. Fox. After the couple split, both Bob Pegg and Carole Pegg continued to perform and record, the latter as Carolanne Pegg. In the late 1960s, Bob & Carole Pegg were a well-known British folk duo. In 1969 they moved south and played London folk clubs, where they met Ashley Hutchings, who had recently left Fairport Convention and was attempting to form a new group involving members of the Irish band Sweeney's Men including Terry Woods. They took part in rehearsals but the embryonic band soon broke up and Hutchings went on to form Steeleye Span with Woods and his wife Gay. The Peggs were approached by record producer Bill Leader. He secured them a contract with Transatlantic Records. For their first album they recruited Alun Eden (drums), Barry Lyons (bass), Andrew Massey (cello) and John Myatt (woodwinds) and adopted the name Mr. Fox, the title of one of their songs and a nod towards one of the recurring figures of folk lore. Her marriage split up in 1971, around the same time that Mr. Fox ceased to exist, after which both Bob Pegg and Carole Pegg continued to perform and record, the latter as Carolanne Pegg.
