Shindig Compendium - out November 28th 2019

[cameron]

I don't know if many of you read 'Shindig!' magazine, but they're printing a special edition that'll hit the shops on 28th November featuring a broad selection of articles from their archives. One of them is an article about the Hollies' "Flower Power Bit" from a 2010 issue of the magazine, featuring a superb interview with Bobby and Tony, focusing exclusively on the 1966 - 1968 era of the group with many rare photos that were supplied by Bobby. So if you didn't see it the first time around, here's your chance. 

Also, judging by some of the slightly off-topic threads we have here about the Hollies' contemporaries (which I enjoy reading), many of you will enjoy some of the other articles in the book. I'm not affiliated with 'Shindig!' magazine, but I really enjoy reading it as you can tell it's run for the love of it, not for the money. They always ask the questions that your average interviewer won't and unearth something revelatory in every article, also making a conscious effort to get rare and unseen photos, interspersed with sleeve scans and memorabilia. 

Here's a preview video which shows the contents of the book, including the Hollies article:

Whenever I've occasionally bought this I've been largely unimpressed (there are usually little or no beat era articles, despite the magazine's title). I admit that I do have a slight grudge against them: I sent them 'Channelling The Beat!', but, when pressed months later, received a one-line email from them telling me that none of their writers were interested in reading or reviewing this (NOT a problem for 'Record Collector', 'Mojo', 'Ugly Things', 'Beat Magazine', 'Making Time', 'The Strange Brew', 'Thunderbolt' and Radio Merseyside!). Then, they requested a (free) copy of my Beatles book, but again, didn't bother to review it... anyway, rant over!

More flower power Nash era prattle. Ho hum.

Not the cleverest idea to do that video showing every page of the magazine as I was able to read the Hollies article freezing the video on fullscreen where all the text was very legible! Not a bad piece and good to see some thoughts from Tony and Bobby who seemed more forgiving and accepting of their flower power phase than they used to.

Thanks for the heads up Cam

Shindig! published my 'Colour Me Pop' article (which included a big b/w photo of The Hollies with Steve Turner) back in May of this year so they're alright by me!

Issue #91 (with Neil Young on the cover) on the back issues pages should that be of any interest: www.silverbackpublishing.rocks/back-issues/
