He also contributed the distinctive 12-string guitar riffs to The Seekers’ chart-topping recordings.
When The Seekers disbanded in 1968, he turned his musical focus to song writing and record production in major recording studios in the UK, forming the New Seekers before returning to Australia where he continues to thrive.
Appearing for Troubador Central Coast at the Everglades Country Club, Woy Woy, Potger will pay his respect to the late
Durham and to the hit songs of The Seekers, including some of their biggest, including I’ll Never Find Another You and Morningtown Ride.
He will also relate stories about life on the road with one of Australia’s best known acts, including humorous behindthe-scenes insights.
Some country songs and some original songs from his three solo CDs will round off the performance.
The show will feature a special guest performance by the accomplished singersongwriter Rachel Collis.
The show will begin at 2pm on Sunday, March 26.
Tickets can be booked at troubadour.org.au and will also be available at the door.
Art exhibition at Magenta over Easter
Barbara Harris is one of three Central Coast artists whose work will be on show at the Magenta Easter Art Exhibition from April 7 to 9.
Harris is an award-winning artist with a passion for the Australian bush and its unique bird life inspiring her lyrically graphic works.
Her painted pieces reflect her dedication to the conservation of the bush and its inhabitants.
She draws inspiration from years spent as a wildlife carer, during which time she has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of birds back into the wild.
Her beautifully controlled brush strokes and very graphic compositions come from her background in ticket writing and commercial art.
Ten per cent of all sales of Harris’s paintings through the exhibition will go to Magenta Coastcare.
