One of the best-loved groups of the 1960s is heading our way next year.
The Hollies were a distinctive sound of the era, with soaring harmonies, crafted songs, and musicianship that ensured the longevity of its music for over 50 years.
They have registered no less than 20 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 three massive No 1 hits, The Air That I Breathe, Too Young To Be Married, and Stop Stop Stop.
In the 1960s 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 time 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.
In turn, Kiwis love to love them and sold out concerts feature whenever The Hollies tour this country.
