April 8, The Seekers (TV Mini-Series ) - IMDb Although it's difficult for those who weren't there to believe, for a short time during late and early the popularity of this singing quartet from Australia was sufficient to rival the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. They played acoustic instruments even the upright bassand they were closer in image and inspiration to the likes of the Rooftop Singers "Walk Right The Seekersthe New Christy Minstrels "Green Green," etc. The Seekers were formed in Australia in by Athol Guy vocals, bass; b. January 5,Victoria, AustraliaKeith Potger vocals, string guitar; b. Potger had The Seekers a band in the late '50s called the Trinamics, doing covers of Buddy HollyEddie Cochranet al. The breakup of both groups got the two The Seekers them together with Woodley and a singer named Ken Rayand they formed a doo wop outfit called the Escorts. Bythe folk boom that had started sweeping America and England in had made its way to Australia, and the Escorts The Seekers into the Seekers. By late that year, they'd met Judith Durham b. July 3, The Seekers, Melbournewho worked at the same advertising agency where Athol Guy had his day job. She'd been born with perfect pitch and had intended to The Seekers opera until she was bitten by the jazz bug in the mid-'50s. She was quickly worked into the group as a sort of "fifth Seeker. Fate played a hand in early when the group was offered a chance to perform on board a ship for a year's worth of international cruises. This got them to The Seekers in May of for a ten-week stay -- they had already sent copies of their recordings ahead of them, and when they arrived, they discovered that one of the top talent agencies in London was not only prepared to represent them, but, on the strength of those recordings, had already booked them. The cruise performances were abandoned, and two albums in quick succession followed for World Record Club, along with a very choice gig performing on the televised Sunday Night at the London Palladium. Their new agent, Eddie Jarratt, brought them to the attention of Tom Springfieldbrother of Dusty and an ex-member of the folksinging trio the Springfields. He saw in the Seekers The Seekers chance to extend the work he'd done with the Springfieldsand, with Jarratt, formed a production company that signed the Seekers up. Springfield became their resident producer and songwriter. Duringthe group had made the acquaintance of a young American folksinger living in London named Paul Simonwho also collaborated with Bruce Woodley -- the one composer within the performing ranks of the Seekers -- on the writing of one song, "Red Rubber Ball. The group's sound was based in folk music, but had the polish and some of the flash of folk-rock. They didn't even have an electric bass, but the soaring harmonies, The Seekers with Keith Potger 's powerfully strummed acoustic string and Woodley 's emphatic six-string playing, gave them a sound not too The Seekers removed from that of the Searchersand not out of place in a musical era dominated by the sounds of the Beatles ' acoustic period "In My Life," "Michelle," etc. Their The Seekers, which included covers of contemporary folk compositions as well as new arrangements of traditional songs, were somewhat more uneven and didn't sell as well. But as singles artists, the Seekers enjoyed enormous popularity, rivaling that of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The group's British album Come the Dayreleased The Seekers inwas slightly reconfigured with the addition of the hit and released in America as Georgy Girlprobably the best of all their LPs, containing a stunning array of originals by Springfield and Woodleyand superb covers of songs such as Tom Paxton 's "The Last Thing on My Mind. By this time, however, changing tastes in America were starting to catch up with the The Seekers. They enjoyed hits of differing proportions on both sides of the Atlantic with "Morningtown Ride," and had two The Seekers chart singles in England, their days as a top-selling recording act in the United States were clearly numbered. It didn't have to be that way -- they'd had the chance to The Seekers at the Academy Awards ceremonies that spring, which would have allowed them The Seekers be seen by tens millions of Americans, but they had concert obligations in England. Their upbeat pop sound seemed increasingly The Seekers of touch with the darkening mood in the United States, especially among the kids. In England, however, the group's commercial fortunes continued The Seekers and beyond. Their concert album, Live at The Seekers Talk of the Town -- which showed them less a The Seekers group than a The Seekers outfit -- got to number two and became their best-selling British album to date. The company followed this with The The Seekers of the SeekersThe Seekers reached number one in By that time, Judith Durham had decided to leave, and the group was officially disbanded in early following a farewell concert that was broadcast on British television. As it turned out, the Seekers didn't quite vanish. Keith Potger organized and managed a group christened the The Seekers Seekerswith an entirely new membership, who cultivated the same audience that had brought his old outfit to the top of the charts at the end of the The Seekers -- more reminiscent of groups such as the Serendipity Singers or the latter-day New Christy Minstrelsthey were far more of a pop outfit than a folk group. They made an international hit out of the Coca-Cola jingle "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," perhaps the The Seekers corporate anthem to top the charts.

    8 – 9 OCTOBER –A– –B– “The most important journey is the one of the spirit, for your internal peace relies on it.” Olivia Newton-John AC, OBE Acknowledgement of Country Australian Women in Music Awards acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we meet, celebrate, dance and sing. We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. MESSAGES Premier of Queensland & Minister Welcome to the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. The Queensland Government is proud to support this showcase event for a second year. It is a fabulous way to pay tribute to the many talented women who are creating music or working behind the scenes to support Australia’s Annastacia Palaszczuk MP flourishing music industry. PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TRADE We are delighted the Awards have returned to Queensland, home to some of this country’s finest female musicians. We recognise however, that while they have found success and been embraced by audiences the world over, there are many other gifted women just like them, right across Australia, who are struggling to break through because of gender barriers. Female artists tend to earn less than male performers, receive less airplay on Australian radio and hold little more than one-quarter of senior and strategic roles in key music industry associations. Shining a dedicated spotlight on these issues and recognising the exceptional work of female artists and industry professionals, is a vital step in creating greater visibility and opportunities for all Australian women in music. This is what these Awards are about. We congratulate this year’s winners, cheer on all those who are following MINISTERDi FOR Farmer CHILD SAFETY,MP YOUTH in their rhythmic footsteps, and wish everyone a memorable time AND WOMEN AND MINISTER FOR celebrating outstanding female talent.

Proposed changes to the offence of stalking provided for in the Criminal Code are now under discussion.
