A Morning Music Event
The Seekers were four young Australians with a dream, and they followed that dream to the top of the pop music world.
The Beggars Sing The Seekers follows The Seekers’ Story from the Melbourne cafe scene in 1962 to London, the swinging centre of the pop universe, through to their 1968 BBC TV special Farewell The Seekers, watched by millions. All The Seekers hits are here including I’ll Never Find Another You, The Carnival is Over, Morningtown Ride and, of course, Georgie Girl.
All faithfully re-produced in wonderful harmony alongside The Beggar’s originals and rollicking standards, such as Open Up Them Pearly Gates and Sinner Man.
“The best Australian vocal band since The Seekers” – Normie Rowe
“World class musicians” – Rock Times [Germany]
“10/10 I have always said that there's some great music coming from Down Under and this is a fine example!” – Metrocountry May 2007 [UK]
“The Beggars beautifully capture the melodies and harmonies of The Seekers.” – Jo Buck, Venue Manager (Barossa Arts & Convention Centre)
