RIP Judith Durham

I don't mind 'Advance Australia Fair' (it's better than our UK anthem) but the music is from an old Scottish song and 'I am Australian' was written by Australians and the words are inclusive.

I've always thought, 'I am Australian' would have made a very good national anthem- better than Australians All . Totally with Calendar girl on that.

Farzanah I just meant my favourite version of the song.

Oh that is so sad .
One of my happiest memories is sitting in the back of my Paternal Grandparent's car wrapped in a blanket after a trip to the seaside singing along to several of 'Seeker's' songs, my favourite was always Mornington Ride.

RIP Judith ?

Ah yes, only the other day, when our grandchildren were asking about the Rolling Stones, our kids said 'mum & dad liked the Seekers and the Spinners!'

I love Francoise Hardy too nadentube but I also loved Judith Durham and the Seekers.
My youth memories all disappearing.

The Carnival is Over - if you can bear to watch this, dedicated by me to all who have lost a loved one ??

Just watched the Seekers singing ‘I Am Australian’ on you tube, with tears running down my cheeks, thinking of DD who lives there, and also my dear late dad who loved to hear Judith Durham sing.

As an aside, that particular song should be the Aussie national anthem, IMHO.

Thanks, Calendargirl, I have just listened to it with tears in my eyes.

I’ll Never Find Another You” is my favourite song of The Seekers. Such a lovely voice.

Morning Town Ride the grandkids loved this one on YouTube
RIP Judith

I’ve just watched I am Australian on YouTube - goosebumps - what a lovely voice she had.

Such sad news. Like Granmarie, we saw the Seekers in Glasgow some years ago. I was on crutches with a broken leg but was determined to attend! Judith looked very fragile, even back then.

My absolute favourite song has to be If You Go Away by Jacques Brel.

Nice version, although Francoise Hardy is my favourite. (She has been very ill for a long time too.)

Paddyann, thank you, what a wonderful version of All over the World. I've only ever heard the Francoise Hardy.

My Seekers ' party piece' is World of our Own, I remember singing that at my grandparents' Golden Wedding. The Seekers were much loved in our family.

Thank you, posters, for introducing me to the song I am Australian; amazing ?.
What a wonderful legacy, to be remembered with such affection by so many people.

I'd never heard of that Calendargirl I've just found it in YouTube. How beautiful it is. Brought a tear to my eye and I have no Australian connections.

They did a lovely quick recap of her life on our news tonight.

I loved The Carnival is Over.

I'm just enjoying hearing them on YouTube!

So sorry to hear this.
I love the Seekers. I still listen to them all the time. Went to their concert in Belfast few years ago.
Judith was a lovely singer. Sad day.

Oh that's sad, such lovely music.
As an aside, my mum let one of her London flats to the sister of someone who was married to Keith from the band. The Seekers used to sometimes come round to practise and stay over. They gave me signed photos and record sleeves etc but I was a bit too young to be bothered.

Oh, very sad.

The Seekers were an Australian band with world-wide popularity.

She had the most beautiful voice and I enjoy their music so much.

RIP Judith
