It is with sadness that we have learned that Peggy has passed away. Peggy ran the blog when it was known as ‘Peggy’s Blog’ for a considerable time and kept many fans informed of news regarding Dame Shirley. She made the blog popular and many fans loved to read her reports. She will be sadly missed by all.
I sat next to Peggy at Faenol which was the last concert Peggy saw Shirley. She was thrilled to be seeing her idol once again after following Shirley since the early years. Although it was terrible weather there was no way she was going to miss the show even though she laughed and said she hoped we didn’t all catch pneumonia after sitting in the terrible rain. She was a lovely lady and spoke excitedly about Shirley and about the blog (it was Peggy’s Blog) then. She said she loved that she was able to bring things to fan’s attention. Obviously we spoke very little during Shirley’s performance but after ‘You Needed Me’ she turned and said ‘That’s why I Love Shirley … such emotion!’.
Peggy we dedicate this performance to your memory.
Rest In Peace.
Dame Shirley Bassey Blog 
Very sad news. I never met Peggy but enjoyed her blog so much. From her writing you could tell she was a super-fan of DSB and also a charming lady. RIP

I always view the Bassey Blog every day – but today I have shed a few tears for dear Peggy although I didnt know her I feel that I do somehow know this lovely lady through Shirleys singing- I agree totally as to what Peggy apparently said that Shirley has such emotion, who else could sing a lovely sony like “You needed me” – only Shirley with such emotion and such convistion. God Bless you Peggy rest in Peace.
Love Michael X

SHE WAS A LOVELY LADY, IN THE OLD SENSE OF THE WORD “LADY” AND, AS YOU SAY, A DEVOTED DSB FAN. SHE WILL HAVE MUCH TO TALK ABOUT WITH MY SISTER JEAN WHEN THEY GET TOGETHER, BLESS THEM BOTH.
