The New Seekers' 1972 tour of the UK kicked off in Edinburgh shortly after the group had performed at the Usher Hall in the Eurovision Song Contest. On 12th April the tour took them to the Royal Albert Hall. The concert was filmed for television and released, years later, on video and DVD. There are two versions of this video, both of which are now hard to get hold of.
In May 2003 the New Seekers concert at the Royal Albert Hall was released for the first time on DVD. The same month a compilation DVD of Eurovision hits was released, which featured the New Seekers singing Beg, Steal Or Borrow. This recording was taken from a TV appearance and was not the group's performance at the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest. The "real" Eurovision recording was finally released two-and-a-half years later on a DVD celebrating the contest's 50th anniversary.
Two of the New Seekers other TV appearances have also been released on DVD - We've Got To Do It Now, performed on Series 3 of The Two Ronnies and You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me, recorded for the 1973 Morecambe & Wise Christmas Special. For more information follow the links below:
Highlights from the New Seekers' concert at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring Lyn Paul singing solo on I'm A Nut and sharing the lead vocal with Peter Doyle on Beg, Steal Or Borrow and When I Was Small.
The track listing on the sleeve of the video does not give all of the songs by their correct titles. Circles, for example, is listed as All My Life's A Circle and I'm A Nut is re-titled Ever Since You Told Me You Loved Me. The misquoted titles are listed in brackets.

Nickel Song, for example, is listed as The Nickelodeon Song and I'm A Nut is re-titled Ever Since You Told Me You Loved Me. The misquoted titles are listed in brackets.

A short video made by Eve Graham many years after she had left the New Seekers. The video was distributed to UK club owners and is not commercially available.
Eve, who is filmed in cabaret wearing a dress she once wore on stage with the New Seekers, looks back on the good old days with nostalgia:
"Those were special days, days I'll never forget. Do I miss them? Well sometimes, yes I suppose I do. Like tonight, when all the memories just come flooding back."
Eve sings three of the Seekers' hits and three by the New Seekers. After I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing she comments: "I still like that song and I don't care who knows it!"
Eve also sings Neil Sedaka'sThe Hungry Years and a homecoming song (complete with bagpipes) about returning to the mountains of her childhood.
Eve's husband Kevin Finn (who was known as Danny Finn when he was a member of the New Seekers) is featured playing guitar and singing backing vocals.

This is a double-disc package featuring 10 hits from 1973 and 10 from 1974 presented on DVD and CD.
In 1973 the New Seekers made a promotional video to accompany their single Pinball Wizard / See Me, Feel Me. The group habitually promoted their singles by making appearances on national TV variety shows and pop programmes. Video, however, had the potential to bring a group to an international audience. This potential was realised later in the '70s by groups such as ABBA and Queen, who established the format as the accepted norm for promoting singles.
The video for Pinball Wizard / See Me, Feel Me (Track 4 on both the DVD and CD) was filmed against a black background, with the group members picked out from the shadows by dramatic lighting. In this regard, it bears stylistic similarities to the video that Queen later made for Bohemian Rhapsody. The camera goes mostly for head shots, picking out the group members as individuals or as pairs: Eve and Marty singing How do you think he does it? I don't know. What makes him so good?; Lyn and Peter singing See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. During the first half of the video the shots of the group are interspliced with footage of someone playing a pinball machine.

A DVD featuring four tracks by the New Seekers, recorded live in concert in Antwerp on 28th March 1998. Bizarrely, one of the photos of the New Seekers on the front cover of the DVD isn't the New Seekers at all, but the seven-piece US group that was licensed to use the New Seekers' name in the 1980s.
Note: Lyn Paul was not a member of the New Seekers when this concert was recorded.
