Does anyone know if the Seekers had any of the  same members as The New Seekers and are they still around?

Why don't we hear of any reunion of either? LOVED their music!

Okay, I remember MELANI,BUT WHERE IS SHE AND WHY NOT REVIVE THE SONGS..IS SHE FED UP?

No...the groups were two different entities - the common thread was Keith Potger (of the original Seekers) who helped assemble the 'New' group, after the original Seekers called it a day in '69...

The original Seekers did re-unite for a series of concerts during the 90s (and very successful they were, too) - but I would imagine that they've called it a day once again...!

The New Seekers are still about in some shape or form with only a couple of original members involved...

This site is probably the best place to start picking through the New Seekers...

When did the New Seekers first break up from their original form?

The most successful original line-up consisted of Eve Graham, Lyn Paul, Marty Kristian, Peter Doyle and Paul Layton...they ran from late '70 through to early '74, when Lyn Paul went solo and the group never really recovered after that - various members came and went...

Although best-known for recording various pieces of pop 'fluff', they really went to town with a cover of 'Pinball Wizard/See Me Feel Me' which is well worth a listen...

I think I saw Lyn Paul in Pantomime at the Palladium in the late 70s.

Interesting info on those singers..(is there any news on one of my favorites-Melanie *Safka- who was one of the members in one of the groups?)

Loved her candles in the rain-lay down song!

I don't think she was ever involved with either group, but the New Seekers did do a cover version of her song 'Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma'...

Mel's still touring...details can be found here...

I used to sing Georgy Girl in the school choir... haha!

This is a great live performance of it. Those harmonies - so much energy!!!

I loved all "The British invasion stuff". God what an exciting time for music huh? We had Dylan,Simon and Garfunklel the emerging "San Francisco, sound, The Beatles ( which I consider in a class by themselves ). And of course even though I am not really a fan but they deserve thier props The Beach boys and surfin music. Add into that Motown (Which I do Love also), Where have all the Flowers Gone? OOPS I Meant good music.
I mean some of the newer stuff is good like Breaking Benjamin, or Disturbed. But not to the extent that rock in general just exploded in the 60s. Of course then it imploded with drug abuse and Disco 8-P 8-P 8-P 8-P

All that may be fine, but The Seekers came from Australia not the UK.
