The legendary The Hollies will tour Australia in February to mark their 50th anniversary.
The Hollies 50th anniversary
The band still features members Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott. Lead guitarist Hicks and drummer Elliott have been with The Hollies since 1963. They have played on every hit by The Hollies.
Although the band formed a year earlier, Hicks and Elliott are as original to The Hollies and Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman are to The Rolling Stones.
The original guitarist for the band, Graham Nash, left to form Crosby Stills & Nash in 1969.
The Hollies are one of the UK’s greatest pop bands. Hits include ‘Just One Look’, ‘Here I Go Again’, ‘Bus Stop’, ‘Stop Stop Stop’, ‘Carrie Anne’, ‘King Midas In Reverse’, ‘Jennifer Eccles’, ‘Sorry Suzanne’, ‘He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother’, ‘Too Young To Be Married’, ‘Gasoline Alley Bred’, ‘Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress’, ‘The Air That I Breathe’ and ‘I’m Down’.
