New World

**New World** was an Australian folk-influenced trio formed in Brisbane during the mid-1960s, originally performing as The Folksingers before evolving into their final lineup. Known for soft acoustic arrangements and vocal harmonies reminiscent of acts like The Seekers, they gained local recognition with their 1970 release *Try To Remember* and later ventured to the UK, appearing on TV talent shows like *Opportunity Knocks*. Their catalog includes tracks like *Tom-Tom Turnaround* (1971) and *Kara Kara* (1972), often crafted with collaborators like Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. After struggling to break into the British market, the group disbanded, with members later pursuing careers in music production and other industries. Their anthology album *Tom Tom Turnaround: The Anthology* and 1975 release *Yesterday’s Gone* compile their gentle, narrative-driven work from this era.

*Biographical details are limited, but confirmed information indicates their 1970s output and role in Australia’s folk-pop scene.*
