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."

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! Rumours that the Lyn Paul website may be closing or that it is being 'taken over' by any other website are completely untrue. Lyn set the record straight in a message to her Mailing List:
