Dutch born Louisa Wisseling was the female vocalist in The Seekers after they reformed in the mid 70s. Athol Guy discovered her singing at a place called The Swagman and offered her the job. She was a semi-professional folk singer formerly with Melbourne group the Settlers. With Louisa out front, The Seekers jumped straight back into the Australian charts with Bruce Woodley's "Sparrow Song" (#7 in June 1975) and the album 'The Seekers' (#17 in July). In September 1975, they undertook a national tour and released two subsequent singles: "Reunion" (# 83 in November) and "Where in the World?" ( #55 April in 1976). In July 1976 they released their second album 'Giving and Taking'. Wisseling left the band in 1978 being replaced by Cheryl Webb. If anyone knows what became of Judith's replacement, Louisa Wisseling, please let us know!
