Seekers on Saturday

We're having a sing-a-long party with Mavis Cock (who later became Judith Durham).

The Seekers were an Australian up-tempo folk/pop quartet, formed in 1962.

They were the first Australian pop group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States.

The group had Top 10 hits in the 1960s with I'll Never Find Another You, A World of Our Own, Morningtown Ride and Georgy Girl.   The Carnival Is Over is still one of the top 50 best-selling singles of all time in the UK.

Reformed in the late 1990's, The Seekers were still regularly performing until 2015.  However due to the ill health of lead singer Judith Durham, the band had to end their farewell tours after the show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, when Judith's declining health had become obvious.  

Last year a new show on Broadway called Georgy Girl, telling the musical story of the band reignited interest in the group.   Judith Durham lived to see the incredible resurgence of interest in talent. She died on 5th August 2022 and the world lost one of the most amazing voices ever, but her legacy continues.

Enjoy The Seekers in London City on Saturday.   Party starts at 12pm SL time (8pm UK) with the show an hour later.

Shortly before her death, Judith Durham released Acapella album demonstrating that she had retained nearly all of her beautiful voice, despite suffering a brain bleed earlier the same year, but the concert in London City features Judith at her absolute best.
