So I've recently come across this episode of a Swedish show Popsan which aired on November 4th, 1966. There is a group called Why Not which appears at 3:43 and they perform the songs Whatcha Gonna Do 'bout It? and Baby Don't Cry. While I know these songs weren't written by the Hollies, this band is clearly imitating the Hollies' recordings here. I believe this group on discogs is the same. www.discogs.com/artist/2214849-Why-Not-7Anyone know any similar live performances copying the Hollies?

Aussie group The Strangers in 1965
Lead vocalist / guitarist John Farrar (normally with a full set of whiskers !) of course went on to join Marvin Welch and Farrar / The Shadows over 1971 to 1976
further irony is Shadows keyboardist Alan Hawkshaw ( over the 1968-1970 era) who played keyboards for Marvin Welch and Farrar played piano including a solo on The Hollies version in 1965
