The New Seekers are a British-based pop group, formed by Keith Potger in 1969 after the break-up of the original Australian group, The Seekers. The group had an ever-changing lineup, just like Brotherhood of Man and Wind. They were chosen to represent the United Kingdom in Edinburgh as host for Monaco (whose broadcaster couldn't afford to stage the contest) in 1972 with the song Beg, Steal or Borrow, which was chosen by the British public on the show "It's Cliff Richard!" After Eurovision, the group had some successes in Australia, the UK, Ireland and the USA which dwindled down after a while.
