Australian?[edit]

This article currently calls The New Seekers an Australian group. Keith Potger & Marty ... were Australian, but weren't the other members from the UK? Weren't they formed and based in the UK? Did they ever record in Aust? --Design 10:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

dunno — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.160.107 (talk) 20:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The text says that "I'd like to teach the world to sing" was adapted from a Coke jingle in 2002. But the discography below says they originally released it in 1971. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.87.215 (talk) 06:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

I've rewritten the page since the history section was a bit of a mess before. The group were British-based, although one member was born in Germany and another Australia (this info can be found on the individual artists' pages).--Tuzapicabit (talk) 19:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

error?[edit]

Hi - this shows up for me:

EasyTimeline 1.90

Timeline generation failed: 1 error found Line 73: bar:Hankins from:01/03/2002 till:end color:Vocals

- PlotData invalid. Bar 'Hankins' not (properly) defined. Anyone in the know fix it? 86.135.196.226 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ca(i)triona Walsh[edit]

From various googling around, it appears that it may not be Caitriona Walsh, but instead it may well be Catriona Walsh. Been trying to find firm evidence of this, but have not been successful. I suspect Lyn Paul's website may be inaccurate. If a pic of her single that she released in 1979 can be found, that would be very useful. --Matt Westwood 17:37, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Potger is listed as one of the member/musicians but doesn't appear on the timeline?[edit]

Jazzbikerguy (talk) 15:14, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, he played on their second album 'Keith Potger and The New Seekers', released in Nov 1970. However, I don't have the skills to edit the timeline. Hogyn Lleol (talk) 15:58, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
