So long, Pete Seeger

Sir, – Just a footnote to Diane Bartz's informative commemorative piece on Pete Seeger (World News, January 29th).

Back in 1964 he gave a great concert to a crowded and enthusiastic Francis Xavier Hall audience in Dublin in late May/early June in 1964. His vibrant protest repertoire struck a chord with most of those present and, in my view, set some of the seeds for the 1960s student protest movement in general and the emerging anti-Vietnam war movement in particular.

It was a privilege to have been present on that occasion. – Yours, etc,

HARRY McCAULEY,
