Celebrate folk-pop music of the 60s and 70s

Seeker Keith Potger and master singer-songwriter Mike McClellan come to The J Theatre Noosa on Saturday 4 June.

The artists will be celebrating the folk-pop music of the ’60s and ’70s, which inspired them to forge lasting careers both in Australia and internationally, and showcase the music they have continued to create for decades.

They both began performing in the folk clubs of the ’60s – Keith in Melbourne with the Seekers and Mike in Sydney.

The Seekers took off to Britain and conquered the world while Mike built his career in Australia as one of this country’s pre-eminent songwriter/guitarists.

They will each perform a solo set but will also share the stage to swap vocals and harmonies on songs they grew up with and their own much-loved material. And, of course, with such rich histories, there will be plenty of stories.

While the Seekers would always remain the anchor around which Keith built his career, he has gone on to write and record extensively, creating an enviable repertoire of timeless songs. And as with so many of the Seekers’ hits, his 12-string guitar has continued to define his music.

Mike McClellan will be forever known as The Song and Danceman after the title of his classic 1974 hit.

However, his return to full time writing and performing in the last 10 years has proven beyond any doubt that his talent is timeless – listen to I Wonder Who You’re Waiting For from a recent album.

This will be a memorable concert from two of Australia’s most-loved acoustic writer/performers.

Don’t miss Keith Potger and Mike McClellan at The J Theatre Noosa on Saturday 4 June at 7:30pm.
