This was a TV special the Seekers did. Here they recreate the recording session they did for this song in London England in Abbey Road Studios, for the TV show, the same place the Beatles did almost all of their recording for EMI Parlophone Records [in the USA Capital Records]. this is not the actual recording session, they lip sync and play along with their recording. They are from Australia. The late Judith Durham, lead singer, had such beautiful an instantly recognizable voice. If anew Seekers came on the radio unannounced, you would recognize her voice instantly. She could also play piano. She passed away August 5, 2022 (age 79 years). Probably the best female folk singer voice in the world, and the Seekers as group were among the the top five folk groups in the world IMO. Fabulous sound!!!!

[@dagmar.6954]

Beautiful song! The Seekers were another great Australian folk pop band from the 60's. Judith Durham had such a beautiful voice. She just passed away recently. They had so many great hits including "Georgy Girl", "The Carnival Is Over", "A World Of Our Own", "Morningtown Ride", "Someday, One Day" etc. They have beautiful voices & harmonies. They don't make nostalgic music like this anymore. Reminds me of a simpler time.

The BBC did not play unknown performers so it was only because of offshore radio stations, particularly Radio Caroline.
