Judith Durham celebrates 70th Birthday at the Epworth Hospital

Judith Durham has spoken of her recovery from a brain haemorrhage, as she celebrates her 70th birthday on July 3rd, 2013 at the Epworth Hospital in Richmond.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

So glad to see her smiling and having a good time. She sure gave us good times and memories. Judith ... you are AMAZING!

[@tencz57]

Well said .!!

[@susanda9469]

So dignified and down-to-earth at the same time.

[@dphotos007]

All of us fans in America are happy Judith is getting better. She and the Seekers are a true gem.

[@Searchzone1]

I made fun of the "Georgy Girl" song back in the 60's, you know back when many of us were “hip” but several years later, after the hipness faded, fell for this lady and her music and her great disposition. I have several of “The Seekers” and Judy’s songs in my car and listen to them to instantly be transported to a beautiful world.. Thanks Mrs. Durham, wish you a full recovery!!! Very much a fan for life!

[@timetravler8051]

The World has been blessed by the music of Judith Durham and the Seekers, and as I watch clips of Judith in concerts, interviews, & tributes, I can't help notice the wholesomeness, purity, goodness, and happiness that shines within her. I can't imagine her ever being angry, or having an unkind word. This is how life is supposed to be.

[@meechangtuie9625]

timetravler absolutely they are fabulous

[@donjarvis3525]

“Seeker’s” my favorite group growing up, and Judith made the group. Beautiful lady with a heavenly voice! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MORE! Happy Birthday and many more!

[@normanross5733]

Dear Judith: I will probably never know if you receive this note, but here goes: I married the love of my life, Marge on 03/05/35 and we had 60 joyous years together, as she died 10/01/14! In a significant part to your beautiful music: "A World of Our Own" as No.1, and "George Girl" as No.2! I'd sing #2 as "Hey there, Margie Girl", and all else fit! ( I had never seen a picture until about a month ago, and you do look remarkably like her!) We are a bit older than you, but so much time was spent by the two of us listening to You and the Seekers at Devil's Den State Park near Ft. Smith Arkansas from 1966 on, that I just had to write to thank you for the many blessings you have passed our way! You will always be my favorite Lady Singer, of all time! We are simple folk here in the Dallas, Grand Prairie Area, but I hope to get seme of your great recordings soon! Your suggestions greatly appreciated!

[@stephenparkinson5303]

God bless fella

[@johnprice7303]

dammit to hell! I have tears in my eyes mate! My beloved wife of 48 years suffers from Parkinsons disease and is nearing the end! I simply cannot bear the the thought of being without her! I wish that I had your courage and fortitude!

[@quinnrollen]

Absolute poetry... Beautiful reverence.

[@laineyfabriccio5984]

Norman Ross awww I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I wish only happiness for your future and as someone who is recovering a massive heart attack I can appreciate your words, every one of them as I am married to a wonderful man and have been for thirty seven years. I feel I am the luckiest woman alive.

[@DAV632]

Norman Ross I can say the same thing. My Sue and I enjoyed hours of your songs and your voice. Ironic that at 46 she too had a cerebral haemorrhage but sadly she never even made it to the floor. That was Christmas Eve several years ago and my eyes fill with tears whenever I hear "I'll Never Find Another You." .... Know that your music means so much more than just "music" to so many of us. It brings back memories of the best years of our lives.

[@isobelwhyte1552]

Such a humble and amazing lady. Her personality is as beautiful as her voice.

[@TAXCOLLECTOR-mx3mg]

The gift you gave made so many lives happier, as well as my own. Thank you for your contribution. Sincerely.

[@jmrodas9]

Boy, am I glad she recovered from a brain hemorrage! My Grandmother had one several years ago and she could not speak clearly after that, she only mumbled. I only hope Judith shall recover fully and be able to Sing for us all again. MAY GOD BLESS HER.

[@MrBuckshot44]

haven't always been a Seekers fan.......everyone makes mistakes . What I didn't realize was this lady can flat out sing , and these 4 have been top shelf for a long time . My prayers and best wishes on a full recovery . Thanks from a short time fan....

[@videomaniac108]

Dame Judith, God bless you dear lady. From an admirer of yours in America since the mid-60s.

[@adrianlarkins7259]

I had no idea Judith had suffered a stroke. Not only is she a wonderful person with the singing voice of an angel but she is a strong, brave lady aswell. I therefore find it all the more amazing The Seekers will be in London this month.

[@danrobertsharples3736]

God bless Just started playing "I'll never find another you" for my wife and found it precisely the kind of meaning I wanted to express. Thanks so much for the music and best of health to you.

[@Winstonlow123]

Dan Robert Sharples ol hokkkin song

[@cecilmorgan5084]

A beautiful soul. Gotta love that ever - present smile, so graceful. Also love the relationship which was always evident with her three big brothers in the Seekers. They always seem so caring and protective of their little sister. It's sweet, and it warms my heart.

[@michaelimms9547]

WOW. 2010 i suffered mega subarachnoid haemorrhage stroke and in la la land taking ages to recover my language. Brought tears hearing this lovely angel hit by her own brain haemorrhage. On plus side half the head not shaved like me and wearing a hat for a year to grow back my hair lol. She up there with Elvis and the Beatles .... lovely lady

[@ronamcsmith1982]

Judith,you may not see this, Nevertheless you will always be one of my favorites. Thank you for all the lovely songs that you have shared throughout the 60's. Each song is a blessing. Hope you are doing well. You are such a lovely human being. God bless.

[@nudnikjeff]

I second that emotion! There will never be another you.

[@davehawkes9619]

We played The Carnival is Over as everyone left the church at my dad's funeral in 2002 because he loved her singing. What a voice, what a person, what joy. I'm going to choose one for when I go. She uplifts the spirit, calms me down and reaches parts very few singers can.

[@1951jmc]

your music has given me great pleasure over the years (i lined up up i auckland nz to see the seekers i 1966 ).god speed your recovery luv ya

[@MrDancampbell60]

The Seekers, especially Judith Durham has brought hope and happiness to so many with their music, it is my fervent hope that they will have the satisfaction of knowing their music rang in the hearts and minds of both the young and not so young in times of war and peace over the years.

[@carolemitchell5259]

Just finished reading your book Judith, and it was wonderful. You truly are a souled being, which is very rare these days. Your voice is magic, and you are an angel in every sense!

[@lieuwina]

Mrs Durham, so sorry to hear you had a brain hemorrhage. Though this is more than a year ago, I hope you will read this.I wish you a speedy recovery and thank you for the music. God Bless you. Take Care.

[@brianarbenz7206]

There are no words to describe how positive and courageous she is. As always, Judith Durham makes us feel good, and that's why we love her!

[@La2i]

I grow up in Melbourne and how much I grow up with your group's music. My favourite is of course you, Judith. I left Melbourne in 1978 and still turn on your music for all these years. I keep them all in USB nowadays. We all grow much older and just cherish the memories of our younger years. Sorry to hear your sickness and I am sure you will recover soon. God bless a lovely girl, now a lady.

[@Tommyr]

She had such a great voice and was a real beauty too.

[@svendaagewolff4692]

I am born 1951 - in a very little town in Denmark - we had 4-5 young boys. I must say you were our first love. And we still love you.

[@debraduffy9610]

I am so thankful that Judith is recovering and improving every day. She was the "world's sweetheart" to an international Folk Music generation. Love you Judith and the members of the Seekers. Wishing you all happiness and good health!!

[@skudaarkaat1]

Ms. Durham; THANK YOU for 50 years of music and memories from a Yank who has loved you and the Seekers since I first saw you in 1963. PLEASE get well and be as happy as you've made us (Your Fans!) All my love,,Ralph

[@WendellsMusic]

God bless you Judith, thank you for the many blessings throughout the years...you're singing and dancing with the guys still makes me happy...Happy Birthday too:)

[@mojogarman65]

Love you, love your talent! I hope all is well for you now.

[@dylancarson7788]

Bless you Judith and the Seekers...you are truly wonderful and have added so much joy to people's lives.

[@jimvanderpool5700]

There are only a handful of events that give pure joy in our lives. Judith Durham's beautiful spirit and the songs by the Seekers have given me some of most joyful moments in my life. Thank you!

[@HongrySheep]

Still bright-eyed and bushy tailed. A lovely woman inside and out.

[@gaerlan1946]

Such a beautiful human being. Even her eye smile. God bless you and "maraming salamat Judith" Filipino "Thank you Judith"

[@50AHenry]

Judith Durham gives a heightened meaning to the word "special." Such a gifted, gracious person we are so privileged to know. God Bless, Judith ! ! !

[@alastaircarthew4786]

I am not religious. But I thank some higher being for allowing Judith to be able to sing.

[@Matthewsmollen4]

I'm glad Judith is recovered.

[@billbright1755]

With out a song the road would never bend, with out a song the day would never end, with out a song. Thank you Dear Judith for your song. Love Bill.

[@TheSWolfe]

Alright, already, I'll get off my bum and stop taking my days for granted. Blessed be the gifts we give as well as the ones we get. And blessed be Ms. Judy D; I hope all's well with her and that she never stops singing!

[@RoyFive]

I love Judith. One incredible woman.

[@tencz57]

I just love this group of people who's been together forever . They are all great as the Seekers and as people . God bless Ms.Durham for making it back and more work lay's ahead for her . But she'll make it ok . !! We' are so lucky .!!

[@luxyaltz219]

Judith Durham ...what an Icon .

[@angusmcpherson8599]

I am so very pleased to see you in relatively good shape after your health scare. Your music meant a lot to myself and many of my friends from the time your wonderful voice came into our homes, cars and (of course) transistor radios in the 1960's and 1970's as new music in Canada and all the years since. Thank you!

[@jspee1965]

My darling, to admit you to a Knighthood as a Dame would belittle you. You are the last of us, the best of us....thank you for your music over the last 40 years. Much love....

[@Ghostmanriding]

Judith is absolutely wonderful.

[@kimslau]

Judith, I admire you, you and the Seekers have made an tremendous impact on myself and my family, you would not know. THANK YOU! Kim

[@54living]

Wish you well granny Judith. You sing very well. I knew your group "The Seekers" recent year because I came from 3rd world country. But when I heard your song I immediately in love with your songs & I became your fan. Especially "It doesn't matter anymore" (I like to sing your version with my guitar). Wish you recover fully & want to hear your songs again & again that perform on live show.

[@krechenklein4453]

Beautiful, sweet, and lovely lady! ❤ So humble. This is a wonderful video. I especially liked the celebration with the other Seekers. God bless you Judith and I am glad you made it through to another decade with all that you had been through. Wonderful.

[@readmystuff1]

I had the greatest pleasure seeing Judith on her 60th Birthday tour, such a beautiful voice, she certainly hasn't lost anything over the years. I wish her a speedy recovery and all the best for the future.

[@JustAFocus]

Bless you, Judith. Hope your 70th Christmas is full of all of God's riches.

[@drb906cr416]

Great to see you in such great spirits. I pray God's blessing to continue pouring in you life. Your music and the Seekers together has meant a great deal to me in the last few years. I'm so glad I was able to hear you all sing.

[@Tina-ji9ov]

I come from the third world too, but fortunately Argentina was very cosmopolitan in the sixties (and still is, to some extent) so I could enjoy Judy and The Seekers on the radio ... Cheers!

[@64kraut]

A class act and still beautiful is Judith.

[@bamknm90]

I listened to the Seekers when I was 10 or 11.Then Georgie Girl came up on U-TUBE .I listened and watched her sing that song,I was hooked. What a beautiful voice and the harmony. Now I want to find more of their recordings.My big regret is that I didn't listen to them in the last 50 years.

[@jackyleach2785]

Just so pleased that Judith pulled through all of what happened to her,love listening to her wonderful voice,she's just such a great person to listen to when singing. Love listening to her songs,that just take me to another place.

[@mmb42963]

The love that Keith and Athol for Judith is so evident. It brings tears to my eyes. I’m glad she’s gotten over this health hurdle and went on to make more years of beautiful music.

[@liewshunteck3946]

I practically grew up with songs by the Seekers. Judith Durham is Australia's treasure. I wish her and the members of her group all the best and here's hoping for another new Album by the Seekers.

[@dannygayler90]

Hello Judith , I had a number 8 stroke back in Dec 2009 , ( at the time I was driving a 26 meter B Double ) , I had no accident ( Thank God ) and was fortunate to be at the right place at the right time , ( A local transport yard in the upper Hunter ) . I spent 12 weeks in Maitland Hospital , and both my wife and I were told , I'd never ever walk or talk ever again , well I proved the Medicos all, "Wrong", I can walk , talk , and now can drive again ( my family car , no trucks ever again ) , I sincerely hope others will be inspired by what happened to us both and how , "Divine Intervention", saved and restored us ! Footnote : I always though I was older than You , but I see am a bit younger ( I celebrated my 74th birthday last month Congrats and may God forever Bless You , Family and the rest of the Seekers , Amen !

I wish Judith all the best. I had a stroke 15 months ago.

[@dannyread8307]

oh stick your tune on YT please

[@bear6264]

Danny,Id love to but Id probbaly get flagged,,publishing thing,,,,its pretty easy to play though,,,,I havent posted any YT vidios yet ,maybe one day,its just root notes and tieing them together with 2 or 3 note scales.alot of the notes are played in the first 3 frets,just find the roots and listen for the chord changes and your fingers will guide you to the right notes.On the bridge I slide up to the 7th fret I think,then back down.I dont play stand up ,which incidently suits this music perfect,,,but electric will get the job done.that and the pentatonic scale.Find the chords and root notes 1st. Then map your notes ,get the feel of the song and you will get it. if I ever post a vidio ,I ll do this song ,,Thats IF?
