The talented Keith Potger will be performing in Peak Hill at a free event on Friday, 17th March.
Keith Potger was born 21st March 1941 in Colombo, Ceylon. His family migrated to Australia and he began teaching himself to play the banjo, guitar and keyboard. Potger performed in vocal groups which evolved into the Seekers in early 1962.
Keith Potger’s solo acoustic performances appeal to audiences for whom his music is a breath of fresh air; the fans who appreciate the man and his guitar – and boy, can he play that 12 string!
As a founding member of the internationally famous group The Seekers, he is known to countless fans and this is obvious in the welcome given to him by audiences around the world. In September 2014, along with his colleagues in the Seekers, Potger was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO).
His program contains some timeless favourites from The Seekers, a touch of Nashville, some beautiful original ballads from his three solo CDs and a few hits from the ‘60s to the ‘80s that appeal to the generation who grew up playing Seekers albums at home or in the car. Throughout his show, Keith shares some amusing anecdotes from almost 60 years on the international music scene.
During his performance Keith offer a special tribute to his colleague and dear friend of 60 years, the late and great Judith Durham. Keith unfailingly delivers up-beat, heart-warming events that leave audiences reliving their fondest memories while sharing the joy of new beginnings that are the hallmarks of Keith Potger’s solo concerts.
This is a free event, proudly funded by the NSW Government’s Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events Program and Parkes Shire Council.
