The Seekers

After domestic success in Australia, the group travelled to the UK, where the voice of singer Judith Durham, their sweet harmonies, and several catchy tunes, and non-threatening image (encouraging the BBC to give them exposure) gave them several top ten hits including Georgy Girl, which reached number 1 on the US charts in 1967.

As they and their older, conservative fans proceeded largely oblivious to the swinging sixties[?] happening around them, they continued to tour and release albums for years afterwards. After the break-up of the original Seekers in 1968, one of its members, Keith Potger[?], created The New Seekers, a British group which bore little resemblance to the original. They were very successful and lasted until 1975, at which point Potger got together again with Athol Guy[?] and Bruce Woodley[?] as the Seekers.

Various lineups, some featuring Durham, continue to tour as a nostalgia act in Australia and overseas.
