A song from a band/artist that you are planning to see in the next 6 months
The first LP that was ever bought for me was 'The Four And Only Seekers' by The Seekers. It was a pressie from my Grandma for my 4th birthday. I really loved that album and used to play it all the time.
in 1980 when I was compiled my list of bands that I would love to see in concert, The Seekers were on the 'If ever they reformed' list (they split up in 1969). Last year I discovered a week too late that they had reformed and had played at a city near me for the 50th anniversary farewell tour! I was quite disappointed that I had missed them and went to look up the reviews. It was then that I read that the UK part of the tour had been cancelled as Judith Durham had been ill in hospital with a brain haemorrhage. A few months ago I saw that the new dates had been set for May and an extra date had been added for Manchester so I bought tickets and I'm excited about going!
I often sing songs by The Seekers at karaoke and have won a couple of karaoke contests. My mom says it's because it was the first album I had when I was so very young and I'd learned every inflection and tone of Judith Durham off by heart! LOL!
Also quite funny that I was a New Romantic/Goth at the time of writing my list of bands I wanted to see. My friends would have laughed at me had they have known, but I've never cared what people think about my taste in music!
This is my favourite song from that first LP -
This Little Light Of Mine by The Seekers
