From 1972, Guy, Potger and Woodley planned on reforming the Seekers without Durham. By 1975 they had recruited Louisa Wisseling, a semi-professional folk singer formerly with Melbourne group the Settlers. [1] [6] They had a top10 Australian hit with the Woodley-penned "The Sparrow Song". [6] [35] Woodley left the group in June 1977 and was replaced by Buddy England, a former 1960s pop singer and member of the Mixtures. [1] [6] In 1978, Guy was replaced by Peter Robinson (ex- the Strangers) and Cheryl Webb replaced Wisseling as lead vocalist, leaving only Keith Potger from the original Seekers line-up. In 1980 the group released an album, A little bit of Country, and toured periodically until the mid '80s. In 1988, Guy, Potger and Woodley reformed the Seekers with Julie Anthony, a cabaret singer. [1] [6] In May, the group sang "The Carnival Is Over" at the World Expo 88 in Brisbane. [36] In March 1989, the group released the album Live On, which peaked in the top30 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Albums Chart. [1] [37] In June 1990, Anthony left and was replaced by Karen Knowles, a former teen pop singer on Young Talent Time. [1] [6] However the distinctive timbre of Durham's voice was missing from their sound and the group split again. [6] 1990s, 2000s and 2010s [ edit ] Highland, Gary.

The Seekers reunited late in 1992, with the classic line-up of Durham, Guy, Potger and Woodley. [1] [6] In March 1992, all four had met together for the first time in 20 years at a restaurant in Toorak, an inner suburb of Melbourne. Before then they had never talked about reforming; they just wanted to get to know each other again. It was two months later that they decided to do a reunion concert, which led to a 102-date tour. [38] The 25-Year Silver Jubilee Reunion Celebration tour in 1993 was sufficiently successful that the group continued to perform and record together, on and off, until shortly before Judith Durham's death in August 2022. From 1993 until 2022 they staged several sell-out tours of Australia, New Zealand and the UK. The group issued several new albums, including the studio albums Future Road in October 1997 (which peaked at No.4 on the ARIA Albums Chart) and Morningtown Ride to Christmas (which reached the top20 in 2001 [37]) Both albums were certified platinum.

The Seekers were an Australian folk-influenced pop group originally formed in Melbourne in 1962.
