DVD Pete Seeger: Live in Australia -- Release Date: 2 July 2009 -- download coupon (pdf) $24.95

Folk Icons: Pete Seeger is a beautifully filmed 105 minute concert showcasing one of the most provocative figures in music history. In 1963 Pete Seeger, blacklisted and barred from American television, he fled the persecution of his homeland and embarked on a 10 month world tour. One of his first stops was Australia where he was welcomed with open arms and sold-out performances. This DVD not only presents a full concert filmed in Melbourne but also includes 55 minutes of bonus footage from various other Australian television appearances. Witness how one man, armed only with a banjo, a guitar and the power of song, captures the hearts and minds of a nation.

Dunaway. * Rare photographs, home movies and memorabilia.
