Because it's only rock and roll and I try not to take it all too seriously, I'm just gonna leave this here...a conversation between me and the lovely Spev on Twitter today. As I'm only allowed 3 attachments to this post and therefore couldn't post the last screenshot, in the end I made the suggestion to start a petition to replace Peter Howarth with Harry Styles. Think of it...the ready-made fan base ala Carl Wayne? Bringing in a whole new generation of fans with eye candy for all -- Tony for the grandmas and Harry for the grandkids? And, hey, Harry's now the same age Allan was when they released "Jennifer Eccles" so he ain't no teenager anymore! To quote Delboy: "You know it makes sense!" (I really need this pandemic to be over soon lord help me... )

That reminds me, I stumbled upon this last year - according to a comment underneath this video (see it on YouTube), apparently it seems Harry has performed "Would You Believe" in concert before. I'm personally not a fan of his, but you just might be onto something lol...

Update... Okay, maybe we don't have to replace Peter. He's got his fans. Sorry about that, current lineup devotees! But if they ever decide to make a movie of Bobby's book...? EDIT: Showed my friend Nathan the photos. His response: "OMG. My real name is Harry!" Would you believe I totally forgot that connection? LOL

Say what you will about Harry Styles, his knowledge of music before his time could be far worse. Thanks for finding the 2018 pre-show playlist, Sandy. Mystery solved!

not quite identical but ex-Smokie lead vocalist Chris Norman always resembled Allan or 'Harry' and even years later still has a similarity - right down to the song !

Perhaps the love child of Allan Clarke and Steve Marriott? LOL

I LOVE Harry Styles! A friend and I have been saying for a while now that Harry should be the lead singer of this incarnation of the Hollies. He is amazingly talented and so underrated! Sound familiar?
Harry is our choice for the actor to play Allan in a movie about the Hollies. He would be PERFECT in the role!

It's not just ME locked up in a house with my elderly parents for too long! There's a song on his new album Fine Line -- "Canyon Moon" -- that sounds as if somebody locked 'Arry in a box for 24 hours and made him listen to nothing but Marrakesh Express. Someone has to make it so.

Not completely, but I think Sal Valentino, lead singer of The Beau Brummels sometimes sounds very similar to Allan on some of their songs. I think this is a good example:
