One of my mother's favourite groups, @jedishrfu, I can well recall The Seekers albums on the record player way back when. (She also introduced me to Jethro Tull and ELO and those are the ones I used to play, The Seekers were too folksy for me, compared to the likes of Thick as a Brick and Eldorado.) Still, Judith certainly had a clear, strong voice, R.I.P.

She had a beautiful voice. Unpretentious.

Most famous song was Georgy Girl:



and my two favorites: It Doesn't Matter Anymore and I'll never Find Another You





and the story of The Seekers as a group:


Very sad, she had a lung illness according to Wiki that eventually lead to her death.
All that beautiful music, singing with a chronic lung condition.
 
This was always my favorite. . .

A good good guy on YT analyses classic bands and vocal performance via pitch tech (sorry not something I can explain well)


Mum loved them and then so did I as I got to know them.

Thread 'Aethelstan, King of the Anglo Saxons, first English King'

Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
