The US rock legend sings songs made famous by folk artist Pete Seeger in the 1950s. It's the smallest UK venue the Boss has played - a former church in east London - but it's no less entertaining. Joining him for this good-time hootenanny are an 18-piece ensemble, including horns, fiddle and accordion, and the E Street Band's Patti Scialfa , who is also his wife. Director Janet Fraser Crook ; Producer Alison Howe
