Bev Pegg is a UK vocalist, guitarist and comedian from the Black Country. He was born in 1941 in Halesowen, and lived in Cradley in his early years. He entertains crowds with his humorous anecdotes on his experiences in the Black Country from childhood to the present day, interspersed with related songs.

His musical career started in the late 1950s when he played lead guitar with the Rhythmaires. In the early 1960s, Bev moved on to the jazz scene playing with pianist Duncan Swift. He was with Ken Rattenbury and his Band during the 1960s and played alongside Bill Rank during 1968. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bev was into the more contemporary folk / rock style that was in vogue at the time. It was in this period at his studio in Kinver, that he recorded songs with Clifford T. Ward, immediately before Clifford was signed to the Dandelion label of which John Peel was a co-owner.
