Farewell tour of The Seekers

ON singer Judith Durham's 25th birthday, in July 1968, the phenomenally successful 60s quartet The Seekers played their farewell concert at London's Talk of the Town, an event released as a live album later that year after the group called time on a five-year career. She is now 70 and last orders has continued for a further 45 years with the original line-up of Durham, songsmith Bruce Woodley, bassist and raconteur Athol Guy and Keith Potger, who subsequently managed The New Seekers, now marking the 50th anniversary of debut hit I'll Never Find Another You with a further farewell tour. The foursome play two Scottish dates at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall tonight and tomorrow.
