Australian music legend to perform at Ouyen and Mildura
Published on 11 November 2016
Keith Potger AO, founding member of The Seekers, will perform at the Roxy Theatre in Ouyen and the Mildura Arts Centre next week.
The concert is a solo show by Keith and it features songs from his three solo CDs, some of his all-time favourites, as well as his own rendition of a few Seekers' hits. Throughout his concert, he shares some amusing anecdotes from over 50 years on the international music scene.
He accompanies himself on his 1967 Maton 12 string guitar, which is the guitar that has made The Seekers’ instrumental sound so unique. He has also taken up the ukulele and features a couple of new songs that he has co-written specially for this instrument. Audiences love this new material and sing along after only a few bars of each song.
Keith is known to countless fans and this is obvious in the welcome given to him by audiences around the world. He has just returned from a successful tour of Tasmania and Queensland, including appearances at the Noosa Long Weekend Festival. He was recently in Melbourne for the world premiere of Georgy Girl – The Seekers Musical which received rave reviews for its seasons in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
The performance in Ouyen is made possible by the partnership with Roxy Theatre Inc, together we present high quality touring productions to communities in the Mallee region.
Melodies & Memories, Keith Potger
