Celebrity Interview - Marty Kristian of The New Seekers

An original member of The New Seekers, Marty Kristian fronted the bend, even having his name as 'featuring Marty Kristian' for a period. His tales from his first cruise to the UK and playing with Bowie before either was famous make for a very interesting interview in the uCruise Doris Visits cruise podcast.

The second formation of the band with Lyn Paul, Peter Doyle and Paul Layton is the one that everyone knows. They taught the world to sing and drink coke after the big hit of Look What They've Done To My Song Ma, which was actually recorded by the original line up; Laurie Heath, Chris Barrington, Marty Kristian, Eve Graham and Sally Graham (girls not related).

He has many stories to tell.
