Australian Story: Season 24, Episode 8

24 - 8: The Seekers

Introduced by Myf Warhurst

The Seekers were the trailblazers of Australian music in the 1960s, knocking heavy hitters such as the Beatles off the top of the charts in the UK and taking the US by storm.

Best known for their unique blend of harmonies and the voice of Judith Durham, the band were unlike anything of their time.

Now, fresh off the back of a record deal featuring their final tour, The Seekers are taking part in the first television documentary since their split 50 years ago. All four band members Athol Guy, Bruce Woodley, Judith Durham and Keith

Potger discuss their music, the impact of sudden fame and the painful fallout from their famous parting.
