b'Peggy Seeger is often described as the godmother of folk. She was married to Ewan McColl who led the British Folk Revival in the late 50s and 60\\u2019s and wrote The First Time Ever I Saw your Face, for her. Peggy\\u2019s been singing since the age of two; has played guitar, banjo, piano, electroharp, the concertina and Appalachian dulcimer. All of this is not surprising given she\\u2019s a member of the North American musical Seeger family.\\n\\nMany songwriters have penned the lyrics \\u2013 Love Changes Everything and in Ruth Birch\\u2019s case \\u2013 it certainly did. Ruth was forced to leave the job she loved after the "horrific" experience of being interrogated by military police over her sexuality. She was an analyst in the Intelligence Corps having joined the Army in 1987 \\u2013 where it was illegal to be gay until the year 2000 - and was investigated over her same sex relationship with Ju - who was an officer as they served together in Northern Ireland in the 1990s. \\n\\nDame Tanni Grey Thompson is one of the country\\u2019s greatest sports stars. A Baroness, gold medals aplenty, sits on the board of many organizations, TV and radio presenter and Mastermind veteran. Need we say more.\\n\\nAll that \\u2013 plus the Inheritance Tracks of metal music icon Dave Mustaine. \\n\\nPresenters: Nikki Bedi and Jason Mohammad\\nProducer: Ben Mitchell'
