The Seekers At The Civic, Auckland, New Zealand
Posted on Saturday, July 10 by Dave

Reviews

When you look back through contemporary Australian music you find that you keep coming back to four young people from Melbourne who called themselves The Seekers.

Judith Durham, Keith Potger, Athol Guy and Bruce Woodley began life as a folk and gospel group and worked their way to England singing on a cruise ship. When they got there they appeared on BBC TV's 'Tonight Show' and within six weeks were on televisions prestigious 'Sunday Night at the Palladium' show.

The Seekers teamed up with Tim Springfield, brother of Dusty, who wrote many memorable songs for them including their first UK number 1 hit 'I'll Never Find Another You'. The song, recorded at Abbey Road in glorious 2 track mono,went to number one all around the world and was The Seekers made history by becoming the first Australian band to crack the US charts (number 3).

Springfield and The Seekers scored again with 'A World Of Our Own' and then again with 'The Carnival Is Over'.

Paul Simon then wrote 'Someday One Day' especially for them then co-wrote their next hit 'Red Rubber Ball' with Bruce Woodley.

Concerts in Australia and all around the world followed by more number one hits such as 'Morningtown Ride' and 'Georgy Girl', their biggest hit.

In 1968 they decided to call it a day and disbanded. Their album 'The Best Of The Seekers' gave the four Aussies their first number 1 UK album, staying on the charts for a staggering 125 weeks.

Following their break up in 1968 the four found success as they pursued their individual dreams and solo endeavors. They reunited in 1993 for their Silver Jubilee. They performed over 100 concerts between 1993 and 1994 in Australia and New Zealand.

They continued to release new material and went on to England for overwhelmingly successful concerts including shows at the royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena.

In 1998 The Seekers released their first new album in over 30 years called 'Future Road'. and toured Australia and new Zealand one more time.

Then in 2000 they again toured Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

On Thursday night they played in The Civic in Auckland New Zealand, playing all their old favorites to an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd.

Exposures was in the front row and yes, there was a camera handy.
