Available in:
Mark Seymour (born 1956) is an Australian musician and vocalist best known for his work as the frontman and songwriter of rock band Hunters & Collectors. Seymour has successfully pursued a solo career, releasing a number of albums of his own, gaining fame as a nominee for two ARIA Awards.
In 1981, Seymour formed the band Hunters & Collectors in Melbourne, Australia, playing guitar and handling vocals.
In 1997, whilst still officially part of Hunters & Collectors he released his debut solo album King Without a Clue, which earned him a nomination in the ARIA Awards for Best Male Artist, as well as Best Debut Single with Last Ditch Cabaret. In 1998, Hunters & Collectors officially split up.
Seymour later released a live DVD/CD in 2001 entitled One Eyed Man, Embedded in 2004, and 2005's Daytime & the Dark. His fourth solo studio album, titled Westgate was released in June 2007.
Seymour continues to tour, focusing on mostly small acoustic performances. In 2008, Thirteen Tonne Theory, a memoir detailing his experiences with Hunters and Collectors, was published by Penguin Books.
He wrote the anthem "Holy Grail", which although not intended to be about sport, became synonymous with the AFL Grand Final and adopted by Network Ten for broadcasts of AFL matches, and also with Queensland's first Sheffield Shield cricket win in 1995. Seymour has performed at several AFL Grand Finals.
