The Hollies

The Hollies are back, live in New Zealand for five concerts on their \'Highway of Hits\' tour. \'Rock n Roll Hall of Famers\', The Hollies are one of the best-loved groups from the 1960\'s British Rock revolution. Their soaring distinctive harmonies, brilliantly crafted songs and sublime musicianship along with a back catalogue of hugely popular hit songs has ensured the longevity of the band and its music for over 50 years. The Hollies have recorded some of the best loved pop songs ever. Since their first chart topper in 1965, the Abbey Road recorded \'I\'m Alive\', they have registered no less than twenty New Zealand Top 10 singles including classics \'He Ain\'t Heavy He\'s My Brother\', \'Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress\', \'Carrie-Anne\', \'Jennifer Eccles\', \'Bus Stop\', \'On A Carousel\' and New Zealand No. 1\'s \'Too Young To Be Married\', \'The Air That I Breathe\' and \'Stop Stop Stop\'. The band\'s connection to New Zealand audiences is so strong that they chose New Zealand to record their \'HOLLIES LIVE HITS\' album while on tour here in 1975. In the 1960\'s The Hollies had more hit singles than The Beatles and along with The Rolling Stones and The Searchers they are one of the few British pop groups of the early 1960\'s that have never officially broken up and continue to record and perform. Powerhouse drummer Bobby Elliott continues to musically drive the band, alongside the masterful guitar playing and unique voice of Tony Hicks, into the group\'s sixth decade.
