Australian Music Legends The Seekers Say Goodbye

Seekers fans all over the world thought all their Christmases had come at once when, after an absence of 25 years, the group announced they were reuniting to celebrate their Silver Jubilee.

The passage of time eventually found us all in 2013, the marker for the group's 50th anniversary, and it was a given that the occasion would be celebrated with new product and a tour.

What wasn't expected was the response from the public, so keen to celebrate such a momentous occasion with their long-time friends, The Seekers.

Decca Records and The Seekers are proud to announce the release on CD and DVD of this historic 'farewell' concert filmed in The Seekers' hometown of Melbourne.

Fans are taken down memory lane with stories, memorabilia, messages of congratulations from music industry contemporaries, and video clips on the big screen.

As the centrepiece of their two-hour performance, the iconic group who put Australia on the international pop music map, Raise the Roof with their chart-topping hits 'I'll Never Find Another You', 'A World Of Our Own', 'The Carnival Is Over', 'Morningtown Ride', 'Someday One Day', 'Walk With Me', 'When Will The Good Apples Fall?', and of course, the legendary 'Georgy Girl'.

The Seekers say: "Little did we know when we sang together for the first time in 1962 at Treble Clef in Melbourne, that we would be celebrating our 50th anniversary - still performing , still recording and still in the same line-up that unexpectedly took the music world by storm in the mid 1960s. Nor could we have known that the music we made in that golden era would endure for five decades and be embraced by generation after generation of music lovers the world over."

"And now, this beautifully produced CD & DVD souvenir of our final Australian tour to mark the beginning of our much-valued long-term partnership with Universal/Decca."

Fifty years on, The Seekers are still touching the hearts and souls of fans - some who've been with them from the very start - and some who've hopped on board along the way.
