The Seekers were a group of Australian folk-influenced popular musicians. The group was formed in 1962. They were the first Australian popular music group to achieve significant chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Their most famous configuration was with Judith Durham: lead vocals, Athol Guy: double bass, vocals, Keith Potger: twelve string guitar, banjo, vocals, and Bruce Woodley: guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals.
This video is from their farewell concert in London, July 7 1968. 'The Carnival is Over' was written by Tom Springfield and the melody is based on a old Russian folk song. In my opinion one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
