Hi all,
Just reflecting on my UK holiday late April\May last year 2018, I was there for 4 Hollies concerts Nottingham Shrewsbury Birmingham and Harrogate. It was a wonderful time, met up with a lovely couple and did the shows together, they organised the tickets all brilliant seats. Caught up with Knut from here as well as some I had met before and others for the first time. Also on a few accessions had times to chat with members of the band in the pub after the show. Bobby Elliott is brilliant, just a fantastic memory. Caught up with Shelia who ran the Carousel mag, lovely lady. Sure some here were subscribers to it. Catch up with our own Simon Smith at the Hollies Melbourne shows for a chat. talk about a Hollies encyclopedia My point really is the Hollies are brilliant that's why we are all on this page, but I feel at times its so much more than the records etc, its the friendships, the social side, the enjoyment you can share with others of the same interest. Funny when I met Knut in Liverpool back in 2013, he was like an old friend as we already knew of each other. And for the English here it gives me a chance to see to many parts of your beautiful country. thank you.

You are perfectly right! I am looking forward to spend some time with with fellow Hollies fans in Holland this weekend. Unfortunately you won't be there, but how about next year? The Hollies fans community is such a good experience.

Beautifully said, Anthony.
My heart lies with the original lineup, but I respect the fact that there are many fans of every lineup. The bottom line is we all love this music and the men who made/make it.
I have met some amazing people that I would never have known otherwise. My life is so much richer for having joined the groups that I am a part of. I am grateful for each and every one of you.
I hope the Hollies know how they have brought people together and made the world a better place.
Dance on!!!
