"Georgy Girl" should be your next Seekers song. It's sad that when Judith Durham passed away last year, it happened at roughly the same time as Olivia Newton-John. Olivia's death rightfully received worldwide attention, but Judith's death was treated as something of an afterthought. Two Australian ladies with incredible voices.

The Seekers were a folk group from Melbourne who worked their fare to sail to England in the 60s. They met Tom Springfield (Dusty's brother) who gave them a song he wrote called 'I'll Never Find Another You' which was a #1 hit in Europe and Australia. They were so loved in their home country, they performed from time to time until Judith's passing with massive crowds.

As a teenager in the 1960 The Seekers was a band your parents listened to. They weren’t trendy, she does have a lovely voice, but as I say classed as boring to us. We all liked The Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers etc, but when The Monkees came along we all went crazy for them. They were that popular they had their own series that we all looked forward to every week. It was a mad, zany show full of silliness and fantastic music. Check them out, they were massive. The Beatles were still popular, but for us young teenagers 14/15 the Monkees reigned supreme! I do like you 2, I’m an old girl now 70 this year. I’ve lived a full hectic life since leaving school at 15, I still love my music which ranges from the Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Noel Gallagher etc etc. I live in England with my husband, we have 5 children, 7 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. There is so much music in our house, we have been to hundreds of concerts, I saw the Beatles back in the day. Not one word of any song was heard because all the girls screamed and actually cried when they were singing. Good days! Keep entertaining and smiling my best wishes to you Pauline x PS there are loads of artist over here that I think you would like past and present x

The Seekers are so underrated today, as has been suggested I Am Australian is truly brilliant and is the subject of a campaign to get it adopted as Australia’s National Anthem. If you watch anything from their Farewell Tour just keep in mind that after the first show Judith suffered a brain haemorrhage and the Tour had to be suspended until she was well enough to resume, and yet her voice is as perfect as it ever was.

Finding fame so fast is hard. By 1968 Judith Durham was suffering from being in the spot light and not liking the publicity. She decided in early 68 to LEAVE the band!! She was irreplaceable. This song was one of their last released....and really summed up their sad departure. Judith went home and the 3 guys struggled to find a replacement. Decades later they reunited. Carnival is over is a great farewell. Georgy girl.....Next plz.

I think the key thing about group like the Seekers, the Mamas and the Papas, Peter Paul and Mary and other vocal groups of the period is that they are singing close harmony with a very light acoustic accompaniment. That's a very unforgiving genre if any of them is slightly off key then is just doesn't work, so the group's that we remember as successful were really really good. You should check out the Batchelors, effectively a close harmony crooner trio.

When I felt alone at night I would put the tape on and be transported by those voices, At university I listened to friends singing one night and apologized that I had no musical talent and could not join them. The lead said not to feel bad for the fact that I was their and that I was enjoying their performance was a gift to them. That you enjoy what we can do gives meaning for our talent has become a gift. Many Decades later the Seekers came back together and now I can put studio quality headphones on and tears come to my eyes.

Don't know if I can say this right. Besides being wonderful talented artists with some great songs during the time (1960's) and spending a lot of time in large and small venues in Europe and elsewhere a lot of people became invested in their Song book. So now in those small clubs if one of these songs is played on the jukebox the whole club will sing a long and have a great time doing it. I imagine that Down under when these songs are played the clubs and half of the town sings along. It's just a fun loving, friendly atmosphere that you can't help but enjoy. I was in Germany in the late 80's and early 90's and sometimes when I went to a club one of these sing along songs would play. It was great to see all of these strangers stop whatever they were doing and belt out the song like everybody in the place were life time friends. It just gives you a happy heart.

"The Carnival is Over" is a story based on an old Russian folk song dating back to 1883. It involves two characters who are reminiscent of Pierrot and Columbine from commedia dell'arte, an early form of professional theater that originated in Italy and was popular throughout Europe from the 16th to the 18th century. Pierrot, a melancholic clown, was hopelessly in love with Columbine, but she chose Harlequin over him. Harlequin is also the name of a romance novel publishing house inspired by the same characters. The story is echoed in the 1986 movie "Pretty in Pink." The Carnival symbolizes the end of the happy times that the young lovers enjoyed together. Despite the end of their relationship, they part ways amicably with no hard feelings. The narrator reveals that they will always love the other until their dying day.

What a great Folk Band They even gave the beatles a run for their money bak then in the 60s . They toured with Beatles for a while as a backing group and John Lennon liked them very much . Of course they are Austrailian . They were a very well organised some of their songs were written by Tom Springfield , Dusty springfields brother . Every one of their songs are magic . Sadly Judith Duram passed away last year . The Bee Gees wrote a song for them called Massachusettes , their manager refused to let them record it . THE BEE GEES . Later released it them selves it was a massive hit for them . When Maurice of the Bee Gees died the seekers released a cover of Masssachusettes in honour of Maurices death . Thanks you guys the seekers are awesome John

You should listen to their cover of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" to see how great they were right up to the end.

Not to be confused with The New Seekers 'You won't find another Love Like Mine' Well worth a listen. A folk sounding song from a group with a string of good songs. A nice easy on the beat sound. Th for the post & your reactions\Incite.

This is a great song from the Seekers but as several other people have mentioned you need to hear their performance of "I Am Australian" at their Special Farewell Performance, it gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it, I'm not even Australian but when I hear this song I wish I was, it's very special.

They sang this song at the end of every concert after they originally released it. Sadly the carnival really is over now with the passing of Judith Durham.
