The beads on Judith Durham’s dress were not the only things to sparkle on the stage of the Brighton Centre on Wednesday night. Judith was in fine voice, and the boys (I use the term loosely as the foursome have a combined age close to 300), Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley, put on a brilliant show.

From the first chord of the first song, I was transported back to my school disco and holding hands in the playground to the strains of I’ll Never Find Another You.

Their mix of pop, folk and gospel found its mark and the quartet performed hit after hit as a group, and also as soloists. At 70 and recovering from a brain haemorrhage you’d expect Judith’s voice to waver but not a bit of it, it was as vibrant and fresh as it was back in the 1960s.

After not having heard the songs for at least 30 years, suddenly I knew all the words and realised just how much a part of my early life they were.

They finished with The Carnival Is Over and bought an audience of baby boomers to its feet.

On a personal note I’d like to thank The Seekers for their support for the Motor Neurone Disease Association; as someone with the condition I know the good work it does.
