“I’m already outa there you see, so I’m quite pleased actually that they didn’t call when they were planning the show,” joked the 74-year-old Seekers star.

Looking at his health and fitness, survival wouldn’t be an issue, but he is heading instead towards entertaining the Shoalhaven seniors’ entertainment market and maybe their grandkids.

After becoming a resident of Braidwood recently, Potger is considering a spinoff enterprise in the area where he almost once lived.

“I owned a couple of blocks at Mollymook many years ago and love the place, and maybe if I still had them, I wouldn’t be sitting here with you,” he told the Times.

But sitting here Keith Potger AO was, on the Ulladulla sidewalk down by the harbour, chatting to a few local fans and singing a couple of The Seekers hits in a short impromptu busking session.

“These days I’m only a hop step and a jump away, so I’m looking forward to getting to know it a lot better,” he said.

Part of his forward planning through 2016-17 is to explore seniors’ entertainment, “an area that has been largely overlooked as far as we can tell”.

He hopes day-trip style entertainment would be a great thing, both for seniors who still live independently and particularly for aged care facilities.

“Yeah we hope so, because it certainly gives the carers something to look forward to as well as the people they’re caring for,” he said.

Ready to perform this Saturday night (February 20) at Milton Theatre, he “hopes the young ones come along as part of the family.”

“Generally with our Seekers concerts as a group we’ve always been aware our age group is from grandparents to grandchildren.”

Part of his all-ages pitch is to promote the Ukulele, and on Saturday he’ll do the title track off a new CD, Make Every Day a Ukulele Day plus the second song, The Gingerbread Man.

He will also perform some of his solo songs, general favourites and Seekers’ tunes, and meet fans after the show.

Would he perform them in a jungle setting like I’m a Celebrity…?

“Probably only if the income was in the eight figures,” he said. “I’m not a big fan of reality shows as it turns out.”

He reckons there is plenty of other entertainment as worthy but says “good luck to them if they can make a success of it”.

“I think they should have gone for [other Seekers] Athol Guy or Bruce Woodley.” No slight intended but he didn’t nominate the fourth member of the super-group, Judith Durham.

The best, worst and only Seekers’ song pun he ever heard remains “the one everyone comes up with and thinks they’re making for the first time”, the title on their first, one million selling, hit single - I Know I’ll Never Find Another Ewe [correctly You] dubbed the Ram’s Lament.
