Dana won the Eurovision Song Contest on 21st March 1970. Her winning song, All Kinds Of Everything, topped the UK singles chart for two weeks in April that year. By May 1971, when she appeared at the Empire Theatre with the New Seekers, Dana had just scored a second hit with Who Put The Lights Out (a UK number 14 in March). The New Seekers, who were about to have a Top 5 hit with Never Ending Song Of Love, were known at this time chiefly for the song What Have They Done To My Song, Ma, a minor hit in the UK in October 1970. |

| New Seekers Tour of Australia and New Zealand. 1972 As 1972 drew to a close the New Seekers squeezed in a concert tour of New Zealand and Australia. The Winter '72 - '73 Fan Club Newsletter reported that the tour had been a "great success", with the group playing to "the second biggest audience ever known in Aukland." For Peter Doyle and Marty Kristian the tour gave them a welcome opportunity to visit home: "Of course Peter and Marty were happy to have another chance to meet their relations and friends in Australia, even though they were only there for a few days." The tour programme described Lyn Paul as "a singer, dancer and comedienne" and mentioned her past association with Eve Graham in the Nocturnes: "Lyn was with her own vocal trio initially before joining Eve in The Nocturnes. Both girls then left the group to sing in The New Seekers." |
