Keith Potger’s solo performances appeal to audiences for whom his music is a breath of fresh air: the fans who appreciate the man and his guitar (and boy, can he play that 12 string!). As a founder member of the internationally famous SEEKERS, he is known to countless fans and this is obvious in the welcome given to him by audiences round the world.
Usually made up of two 45 minute sets, Keith's "wandering minstrel" program contains some old favourites from The Seekers, a touch of Nashville, some beautiful original ballads from his three solo CDs and a few covers of hits from the 60s to the 80s that appeal to the generation who grew up with their folks playing SEEKERS albums. Throughout his show, Keith shares some amusing anecdotes from over 50 years on the international music scene.
In all, this is an up-beat, heart-warming event that leaves audiences reliving their memories of the past while sharing the joy of new beginnings that are the hallmarks of Keith Potger’s solo concerts.

- Considerations
The show is easy to present and reasonably priced. The repertoire is timeless and has an engaging balance of known material and new songs. The audience is welcoming a performer they've known for decades because of the popularity of The Seekers internationally. The humour is wry and acceptable to all audiences with no objectionable content. The show will work in several time slots: Morning or Afternoon presentations or Evening Concert style with or without an intermission. Keith is able to perform his whole show without a PA system provided the venue has suitable acoustics and lighting and has no distractions such as food or liquor service while he performs. For venues that do require installation of technical facilities such as PA and lights an additional charge of $500 per performance will be required to cover the cost of the equipment and a road manager/operator.
Circle Music Circle Production presents concerts concentrating on acoustic performances such as solo singer/songwriters, classical chamber trios/quartets and spoken word. All shows are easy to present and market with strong support from Circle for interviews, supply of print quality marketing material and CDs/DVDs.
Currently Circle is presenting "An Evening With Keith Potger", scheduled for 5th December at the historic National Theatre in Braidwood, NSW. Keith, as one of the founder members of The Seekers, has been building a loyal and enthusiastic following through his solo concerts in Queensland. On the slate for 2016 and 2017 are more presentations at the National Theatre in Braidwood featuring spoken word, folk duos and solo artists as well as a strong presence in the Morning Melodies type of mid week concert.
Circle is in contact with like minded producers to link the National Theatre in Braidwood with venues in Canberra/Queanbeyan, Goulburn and Yass to create a "mini tour" potential for artists.

Keith is very agreeable to radio, television and press interviews and can supply MP3 versions of his original recordings for broadcast when relevant to an interview or program.
Community Engagement

Keith Potger is agreeable to doing charity work for relevant accredited charities within regional communities. However, this must be with Circle Music's prior written consent to any charity request. Previous activities have raised worthwhile donation amounts through performances, raffles and auction items etc.
