"This portion of the thread is getting to look rather like washing somebody else's dirty linen in public,"
Or the pages of Hello Magazine; - almost a shame to spoil it with a few facts.
Jim Carroll

"To get back to Britain and MacColl, in Paris Peggy Seeger married the laid-back Glaswegian folk singer Alex Campbell, who'd agreed to help her out of an impossible fix. For years rumours would circulate that Campbell was actually in love with Seeger and took the ceremony seriously, a story that can be traced back to the reminiscences of Campbell himself. Seeger insists that it has no basis in fact. 'We should have paid him something,' she recalled. 'I offered him money later and he turned it down.... Alex did it out of sheer goodness of heart. He did it light-heartedly. He was not in love with me. He never made any advances.'"
