THE SEEKERS
The Seekers were a group of Australian folk-influenced popular musicians that was formed in Melbourne in 1962.
They were the first Australian popular music group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States and were one of the main bands of the 1960s at some points rivalling the popularity of The Beatles.
Their best-known configuration was:
• Judith Durham: lead vocals, piano, tambourine
• Athol Guy: double bass, vocals
• Keith Potger: twelve string guitar, banjo, vocals
• Bruce Woodley: guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals
They had nine hits in Britain and Australia in the 1960s: "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own", "The Carnival Is Over" (which The Seekers have sung at various closing ceremonies in Australia, including Expo '88 and the Paralympics and still stands as the 30th Best Selling Song in the United Kingdom), "Someday One Day", "Walk With Me", "Morningtown Ride", "Georgy Girl" (the title song of the film of the same name), "When Will the Good Apples Fall" and "Emerald City".
