As part of my research and writing into Hollies fans/fanclub secretaries and their printed efforts of the past, I'd love to track down any of the following people from the 1960s. If you have any current contact details or whereabouts of the following, I'd be eternally grateful and will reward you with something from the Hollies world. Sue Seeger (Minnesota, USA - c.1960s/70s)
Ann Hazelby (South East London, England - c.mid/late 1960s)
Jaap van der Ploeg, Frank Zeldenrust and Herman Dirk (Delfzijl, Netherlands - late 1960s)
Hikaru Egawa (Tokyo, Japan - early 1990s)
'Carol and Joan' (Stretford, Manchester - mid 1960s)
Rosemarie Bradshaw (England, mid-late 1960s)
Louise Tyler (Surrey, England - late 1960s)
Denise Gross (East Coast, USA - mid/late 1960s)
Lynne Wheeler (England - late 60s/early 70s)Feel free to message me privately if you would prefer not to post anything here publicly. Any help greatly appreciated. cheers Simon |

Simon,
Sue Seeger ran the Hollies fan club in the US. She stopped it about 1976. Moorlock may know more on her.
Hikaru Egawa, My biggest competitor in my collecting days. Had him over a barrel when he needed both New Zealand Parlophone & WEA singles of "Stop In The Name Of Love''. Almost impossible to trade with, tough as nails. I got what I wanted and so did he. LOL
As for Denise Gross a fan but not a collector.

You forgot to mention that guy that did the LWWG magazine. He had some Hollies information.

Simon, Sue Seeger ran the Hollies fan club in the US. She stopped it about 1976. Moorlock may know more on her. Hikaru Egawa, My biggest competitor in my collecting days. Had him over a barrel when he needed both New Zealand Parlophone & WEA singles of "Stop In The Name Of Love''. Almost impossible to trade with, tough as nails. I got what I wanted and so did he. LOL As for Denise Gross a fan but not a collector. Thanks Poco - and I haven't forgotten your assistance in getting me some hard to find Hollies discs back in the early 1990s - I remain most appreciative. I do wonder what became of Hikaru - I think he was born circa 1950, which makes him years younger than the band members themselves. I have written about him a little in my 10,000 word article on Hollies fan publications. Speaking of which... Denise Gross was the American Hollies Fan Club president certainly c.1966-67 - but can anyone confirm if she wrote and issued newsletters for US fan club members? She wrote informative letters to the Official British one and they would occasionally be printed in them. But did she actually produce anything herself that was posted to USA fan club members? Knut in Norway has been especially helpful to me with providing information on various newsletters produced over the years. In the process, I've pieced together lots of information most likely never before compiled on this subject - then again, who would? Probably only a Hollies pedant like me!! (and there aren't that many around...) - but I remain intrigued that so far I've found no evidence of any small, fan based Hollies newsletter or fanzine produced in places The H were very popular and visited frequently, such as (West) Germany in the 1960s/70s, Sweden (ever), USA (1960s/70s aside from Sue Seeger's for which I've never seen anything whatsoever). Hence the Denise Gross question. Cameron - calling my old cobbled together Look What We've Got (LWWG) newsletter a 'magazine' is the nicest accolade it's ever received!! You are too kind - I must have only sent you my last remaining copies of issues' 8-9, cos the early ones are an embarrassment! I recall sending an issue over to Record Collector when they used to have a fanzines section, and their review was spectacularly underwhelming. I was really disappointed at the time but in hindsight, I probably escaped harsher criticism because fanzines by their nature, were no-budget labours of love that deserved support no matter how inconsequential were the contents. I do find the whole subject of Hollies fan newsletters fascinating. Given how small the subscriber numbers would have been for each publication, finding them today is a minor miracle. Even copies of the official British newsletter are spotted about as infrequently as a so-called sighting of a Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine). Given that at its mid 1960s height, the British fan club had a little under 3000 members, that's 3000 copies absolute maximum of a 4-6 page information-lite newsletter with no photos (until 1969 issues and even then that was only the front cover). Doubtless many were read and immediately discarded, reducing the pool of surviving copies to - at a guess - half of that within a few days of their letterbox arrival. I'm always looking for these - happy with scans or photocopies - just want the info - please contact me privately if you have something you'd like to offer. If any of you know of even the tiniest, most obscure and minor fan-produced effort from the 1960s/70s from any country, I'd love to hear about it. In total, from this period I know of: Official Newsletter (UK - 60s/70s) Hollies Style (UK - unofficial - mid-late 60s) High Classed (Netherlands - mid-late 60s) Sue Seeger's one (USA don't have a title or any info - nothing - only going off what 2 fans have told me - supposedly late 60s-mid/late 70s) I think I have the 80s/90s/2000s covered. cheers Simon |

Don't you see the addresses of German Hollies fan clubs on various clips from the '70s, surely if the fan clubs existed they had some some sort of written communications.... |

That's a good point but I can't recall any clips that listed a German fan club from 70s era clips. Care to point me in the right direction with a specific clip you recall? I'm sure I'll have it but nothing springs to mind. |

I'm sure I'll have it but nothing springs to mind. The German 'Disco' show often included addresses of fan clubs on screen whilst artists were performing. I can't recall off-hand if this is on any of The Hollies clips though... |

Thanks Peter - I will check this out. I can recall some onscreen words during a Disco Too Young To Be Married Clip I think but never thought to check what it was - maybe I assumed it was a live tour date.
