The Seekers Story
We will be presenting our tribute to The Seekers at the Norwood Concert Hall on Friday the 11th of November. https://www.trybooking.com/CCHTT
The Seekers were four young Australians with a dream and they followed that dream to the top of the pop music world. The Seekers Story begins in the Melbourne cafe scene in 1962, moves to London, the swinging centre of the pop universe and through to their 1968 BBC TV special Farewell The Seekers, watched by millions. Featuring all the hits “I’ll Never Find Another You”, “The Carnival is Over”, “Morningtown Ride” and, of course, “Georgie Girl”, alongside rollicking standards such as “Open Up Them Pearly Gates” and “Sinner Man” The Seekers story is lovingly performed in superb harmony by The Beggars quartet in the beautiful Norwood Concert Hall.

Singing the Seekers I’ll Never Find Another You
Here we are singing the Seekers classic I’ll Never Find Another You. Its a live performance and we had a couple of takes before we got this one. Hope you like it!
New recording sessions
We have started recording again with a fairly ambitious goal to produce three albums. One will feature great Australian songs and be the follow up to our Australian Songbook album. Here is a sample and one of the standouts from that project.
We will also record an Australian flavoured Christmas album and last but not least an album of original songs. Our third album of original work. Here is a sample of one of our original songs from the Desert Flower album.
New images
Our friend Kathleen Morris recently took some shots, this is my current favourite.
