Jim,
Your posting seemed to imply that a benefit concert was being held for Pete Seeger.
As Pete had appeared in the UK in 1959 it seems unlikely that he needed a benefit concert in the 1960's.
He had also appeared at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 16th November 1961. I still have the flyer and I quote
"Phillips Recording Star PETE SEEGER SINGS"
"a Singers Club Presentation"
I am NOT attacking or insulting you just trying to clarify/correct what your posting implied.
