  • For a generation of fans, Judith Durham, AO is the voice of The Seekers, the Australian folk-inspired vocal quartet that took the world by storm in the 1960s. From the coffee shops of Melbourne to main-stages around the world, The Seekers became the first Australian band to sell a million copies and the first to score a simultaneous Top 10 hit in Australia, Britain and the United States. That much of the story we know.
    Perhaps less known is the story of a young girl who grew up with a love of jazz and piano, whose shyness coloured all aspects of her career. In our interview, Judith talks to Brian Nankervis about her earliest musical influences, her whirlwind experience with The Seekers, her solo career and what it felt like to knock The Beatles ‘White Album’ off the No.1 spot on the UK charts.
    Interviewer: Brian Nankervis
    Location: Home of Judith Durham, 2018

    Hi from the USA. What a great interview with a fabulous woman! I have been a fan for years now and have raised two daughters who also enjoy the Seekers music. I would play Morning Town Ride as I was putting my girls down at night and would softly sing along for my daughters. I was married and a young man when The Carnival Is Over came out and my wife and I cried when we heard they were breaking up. Over the years, even though the group was not together we still had their music so we could enjoy their sounds. Now, I am 69 and when it is time for me to lay down for the night, I can turn on the wonderful sounds and bring back the memories of days gone by. My poor neighbors have to put up with my playing the music on loop, but have never had any complaints... 😉!

    Beautifully done. The interviewer is brilliant. Not the obnoxious ones you see on English TV who, with one or two exceptions, it seems, try to outdo the stars they are interviewing. But this guy is like a breath of fresh air. And Judith, well she is a dear, so well grounded And self effacing.

I’m in fits of laughter with all her excitement in telling her story that she (said) “I ve forgotten your question, what was it?” She said it so simply, no exaggeration… Wow, Judith, you are still singing… with the Angels now…On The Other Side.🙏❤️💕🌈🌟✨✨✨✨✨✨🌟 💐🙏🌈🌈🌈🌈✨xxxxxxxx

    Hmmm…..I like this lady a lot. She touches my heart without even knowing her. Amazing. I feel like she is already my friend. She is very humble and came from humble beginnings. She wasn’t looking to be a star, just happened. I always knew she was a good person from seeing her perform, and I was right. Rest In Peace, Judith. You are the kind of person I would love to meet. I’m saddened that I never got to meet you, but knowing how you would react to people who admire you is satisfying. Thanks again!

    “Crystallised by your own immaturity “. What a superb quote as part of Judith’s response to John's request for her advice to young women singers...Such a lot of wisdom in her reflections.....now in thecAustralian Music Vault. I agree with Judith's comment: "Thank
    God that the Music Vault exists". And that they had such a superb interviewer who could evoke and "hold" Judith expressing herself.
    Gratias from a long time kiwi fan of Judith Durham and
    The Seekers.

    Judith may be getting in age, but if you hear her voice with out music,as I heard on abc radio, about 7 years ogo,with Joh Faine,she sang with just a voice, and it was Christal clear and it blew me away,,Their is not many singers that I have heard on RUclips that sings without music,But I didn't hear Judith on this forum but radicand blew me away,John Farnham is another, and the is I bleieve is one other, but lives in the States,but still tingles,Barry Gibb,the rest need to rest.my option only.So how did I come to this result, when hear a singer with out music, to hold a tune, then you know they have an art.
