Dear Valerie,
Judith thanks you so much for everything you have done to draw attention to her career.  It means a lot to her and she admires your attitude of getting up there and really doing something.  Congratulations!  She sends you her love.
With kind regards,

The Seekers recently returned to the stage after lead singer Judith Durham's recovery from a brain haemorrhage.
The Seekers legendary lead singer was rushed to hospital after suffering from a cerebral haemorrhage following a Melbourne concert in May during the band's Golden Jubilee tour.

Recorded at Hamer Hall, this is the final few moments of the first Melbourne concert during their Golden Jubilee Tour. Judith Durham was in hospital with a small cerebral haemorrhage only a couple of hours after this performance. However, only four months later they announced the rescheduled tour









Walk with me......



Judith Durham and The Seekers....


I'll Never Find Another You....




Im a big fan.

Judith Durham has one of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard.

The Seekers turn 50



The original line-up of The Seekers - Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley - reunite for their 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee Farewell Tour.


This iconic band was the first to ever to reach No 1 in the UK charts with their first three singles. Their hits include I'll Never Find A Love Like You, Georgy Girl, A World of Our Own and Morningtown Ride. They have sold over 60 million records globally. Fifty years on they are still touching the hearts and souls of fans.


You would not believe her age, Singing with the group keep's her young


 Forever Isn't Long Enough For Me 



50's medley




 Morningtown Ride



Red Rubber ball



Lemon Tree



Puff the magic dragon



Right from the minute The Seekers walked on stage, they had their audience eating from the palms of their hands. There was almost a religious fervor in the air - everyone knew this was one very special show because everyone there knew tonight (and the 14 or so which preceded it) might very well have not happened, but for Judith's determination and a great medical team to usher her to good health.

Just wonderful to see them all again! What a fighter Judith is,

Many of us are aware that just as Judith was looking forward to her 70th birthday and was on tour in Australia celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Seekers, with a UK tour planned for the autumn....she had a brain haemorrhage

 A Message to you all from Judith...;)

Who would have believed that you could be in hospital and have such a wonderful birthday?! I had the most glorious day, surrounded by family, treasured Musicoast colleagues and dear Athol and Keith - Bruce is away at the moment but sent his warmest greetings. I was thoroughly spoilt and was given the most delicious vegan birthday cake which seemed to disappear very quickly!

"I am not going to be celebrating in a huge big way," she said.
"But in a funny sort of way, because I'm in the position I'm in, it's meant I've had the biggest birthday of all."

Here Am I



no bands of today can hold a candle to judiths amazing vocels the seekers are 1 of the finest bands in the world

Its a very special world of Judith and The seekers fans....A world of our own



Lets meet a good friend of Judith's and The Seekers...
Georgy Girl




I first found my love of Judith and the Seekers when during a very difficult childhood in 1960's London, I like many others identified myself with Georgy Girl, a song which Judith believes is even better known than she is..Many people through the years have adopted Georgy Girl as a kind of anthem.....And my friend wrote about it for her thesis !!!

And Myra !!



Keep a Dream in your pocket



Hold on to your dream...


Hold on tight....



My Faith





Judith Durham returning to the stage

We shall not be moved



They are sounding great and Judith looks well. Athol introduced her as "Our little miracle".


..they were absolutely outstanding, she showed no signs of being so ill only 5 months ago....her voice was pure magic and there was so much love outpouring from The Seekers themselves and from the audience.

Amazing Grace



Good group of people who love the Seekers!

brilliant song ,, and what a voice judith has

The one and only Judith Durham....never been matched.

like a comment by Bruce Woodley when Judith sang one of his songs, "Worthwhile writing songs when you hear them sung like that believe me".

Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley – are greatly looking forward to taking their UK fans down memory lane

Doctors have given Judith Durham the green light to return to the stage, and a new run of UK dates has been secured, starting April 28 2014 in Cardiff. New dates for The Seekers 50th Anniversary now on their official website. All existing tickets sold are valid for the rescheduled dates.

Sixteen Reasons We Love Judith Durham



Why do I love Judith ?...apart from that fantastic music talent she is incredibly kind...when I started my blog to support people like myself who are older and maybe have health problems but are still working or indeed having to look for new jobs in the current economic climate , I featured Judith who continues to work with a lung condition which she admits does not improve with age , the legacy of childhood measles..Judith sent a lovely message...reprinted at the top of this post 






Is it any wonder that Judith and indeed The seekers are loved...All over The world....
