[edit] POV
This doesn't seem like a very flattering article for Australia's number one musical group for decades... but I don't have time to rewrite it now. Several generations of Australian children grew up to the music of the Seekers (I was one of them...) Sure their songs were conservative but they were also bloody good musicians/songwriters/performers... KJ
[edit] Photo
Please put more photos on. I will not have none on here while little fads like Delta have pleanty.
[edit] Discography
This article would benefit from a selective discography and a table showing their charting singles in Aust/UK/USA. --Design 03:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capacity of Sidney Myer Music Bowl
"In recognition of their achievements, the group was named Australians of the Year for 1967 and in March that year they returned to Australia for a triumphant homecoming tour, which included a record-breaking concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne which was attended by over 200,000 people."
Is this accurate? The Sidney Myer Music Bowl article claims a capacity of 30,000. Two hundred thousand people would be one heck of a squeeze! 217.155.20.163 00:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The Australian Heritage Database and the Lord Mayor website in Melbourne, it is accurate. Athough I was not at the concert itself, I have it on DVD, and I can confirm that it definitely was one heck of a squeeze. Here are links to the information about this, at the following websites:
-
-
- Australian Broadcasting Corporation - about the Seekers' EMI award and their concert at Sidney Myer Bowl in Melbourne
- Australian Heritage Database - about the Seekers' concert at Sidney Myer Bowl in Melbourne
- Lord Mayor's Charitable Fund (the information about the Seekers' concert at Sidney Myer Bowl in Melbourneis in the "History" section of the page)
