Alan Lucas sent Lyn an e-mail in which he asked: Are you still in touch with other members of the New Seekers?
Lyn replied:"Thank you Alan for your message. Nice to know you are still playing the New Seekers stuff. I have to admit when Peter died I went thru a period of playing them too. They brought back some lovely memories - and no, I am not in touch with the others."
Bill Langford asked Lyn if the original line-up of the New Seekers would be getting back together again.
Lyn replied:"Hi Bill, I am afraid the original line up of the New Seekers won't be re-forming for a reunion but I would like to see you either at Blood Brothers or when I start in the Boy George musical Taboo at the end of April."
Will Shaver paid compliment to the songs written for Lyn by her mum.
Lyn replied:"Hi William, I am glad that you enjoy my mum's songs. I am very proud of her."

Lyn Paul on disc
Is Lyn's first solo single Sail The Summer Winds available on CD?
The answer: Yes, Sail The Summer Winds is available on The Dove soundtrack, which has been re-issued on CD three times. A limited edition CD (Artemis ART-F 006) was released in 2001 but this is quite hard to come by. A bootleg LP to CD transfer was released by Harkit Records in 2009 (HRKCD 8321). This was followed six years later by a re-mixed and re-mastered edition from Intrada Records (ISC 313). The Intrada soudtrack is the one to buy.
Is the film The Dove available on video, DVD or Blu-Ray?
The answer:The Dove has been released on video in the UK (Warner Home Video - PES 39080), as well as in the USA (Paramount Home Video 8738) and the Netherlands (Thorn EMI - BETA 90 0583 4).The Dove will be released on DVD (Region 2) and Blu-Ray for the first time on 5th April 2021 (Network DVD 5027626609542 / Blu-Ray 5027626832841).

Seekers or New Seekers? Still confused after all these years?
The Seekers split up in 1968. The New Seekers were formed the following year. More than 30 years later confusion still remains as to which group was which. Take the May / June 2003 edition of HMV Choice magazine, for example, which described Judith Durham as "the legendary New Seekers singer" (HMV Choice, Issue 19, page 6). The following may help to clarify things...
Seekers
A sixties foursome from Australia, more folk than pop.
Female vocalist: Judith Durham
No. 1 Hits: I'll Never Find Another You and The Carnival Is Over.
Other Top 10 hits: A World Of Our Own, Walk With Me, Morningtown Ride, Georgy Girl.
Possible areas of confusion... Keith Potger was a member of the Seekers and was initially a member of the New Seekers.
An album by the Seekers was released in the USA with the title The New Seekers.
The New Seekers recorded a cover version of the Seekers' hit Georgy Girl.
Both groups recorded Bob Dylan'sBlowin' In The Wind.
Still confused?
An album by The Seekers was released in the USA with the title The New Seekers.
Website
Is the Lyn Paul website closing down?
Definitely not! Back in 2006 there were rumours that the Lyn Paul website may be closing or that it was being 'taken over' by another website. Lyn set the record straight in a message to her Mailing List:
Hi everyone,
A big thank you for all your support. I just wanted to let you know that my website, run by Steve, is going strong and the ONLY source of information for Lyn Paul. Any news I have will be given to Steve but only after I have had everything confirmed. I know you will all understand this... I just don't like tempting providence!!!!!!!!
You are all fantastic and the support you give me is unbelievable.
A million thank yous.
