The Seekers 50 years on
Australians Of The Year 1967 and ARIA Hall Of Fame inductees, The Seekers first performed together in Melbourne in 1962. They became Australia’s first international supergroup, topping charts around the world with hits like “Georgy Girl” (Academy Award® nominated), “The Carnival Is Over” (No. 7 in the Top 10 UK Hits of the 60s) and “I’ll Never Find Another You” (to date more than 45 million hits on youtube.com). The four members of The Seekers; Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger, received the Officer Of The Order Of Australia (AO) in the 2014 Queen's Birthday Honours.
Famous for putting Australia on the international pop music map with their unique pop sound, singing four-part harmonies with acoustic guitars and double bass, The Seekers still hold the record for the biggest concert crowd in the southern hemisphere (200,000) in March 1967.
