Wow. Just. Wow.
If ONLY interviews were like this now. This man should be bottled. Cloned.

Wow. Just. Wow. If ONLY interviews were like this now. This man should be bottled. Cloned. Yes! Great interview and interviewer too.Wonderful find. Seems Allan wasn't there. Wonder if by choice? He didn't like the interview side much. Or maybe, by the time of the current album,( Butterfly, I'm presuming), there were already disagreements over next direction actually,and Allan would find it harder to gloss over and deny maybe?Who knows. ...But doubt he'd have got a word in edgeways anyhow! Graham was always like a Duracell bunny, wasn't he? God he could talk😂. Even Bobby could hardly speak. Lots of interesting moments. Graham saying they absolutely weren't interested in the business side...then Tony saying actually that's not true,I find it annoying when they don't do it well....Tony's business head already forming then, as with his advertising ventures into hairspray etc! And we know he very much became a business man. Then Graham goofing momentarily..." Bobby is the best drummer in the world, and Bernie? ...well.... he's. ...err coming on nicely.."....OUCH!! And of course.... even by 1967, they were getting bored with " How did you get your name .?"😂😂😂😂😂😂 Little did they guess, all these years later.😂😂😂 Fantastic interview,thankyou👌👌👌🎶🎶🎶 |

Interesting given how Graham seems utterly incapable of mentioning Bernie's name whenever he talks about that era, always referring to him as "the bass player". Wonder what it is Graham holds against him? |

But thought it was really cool to hear Bernie's side (and voice). And Bobby came across quite well; I think the interviewer tried as best he could to get someone other than Graham to speak! Thing is, I tend to get a bit defensive about Graham; being a blabbermouth myself! |

whilst Graham does come over as an incessant 'chatterbox' he was their collective 'public voice' as all of the others were by nature more quieter unassuming guys who are of course interesting to listen to but were never PR 'naturals' - hence how much The Hollies missed Nash in 1969, not as a musician or even as a harmony or lead vocalist but as the group's mouthpiece and public personality
- hence Allan Clarke visibly sweating and both looking and sounding ill at ease besides when he's singing in the Golders Green Hippodrome concert from February 1969, where it's noticeable how young Terry Sylvester looks to be the one most enjoying doing the show there !
you needed to get each Hollie for an individual interview but none of the others really seemed to enjoy doing the 'PR Stuff' that much hence always largely left it up to Nash
even years later Tony Hicks was 'first off out the door' after a Hollies concert....and Bobby only spoke up onstage after the Carl Wayne era !

Graham is almost inarticulate he has so much to say or his head is so in the clouds!
Bernie actually seems the most articulate, I dont think I've ever heard his voice from when he was in the group before.
Very interesting find.

If Nash is anything like me (or like me when I was in my 20s), he thinks and talks at the same time, instead of thinking first then talking. I thought Bobby came across very well too. Bernie sounds adorable, but I expected that! |

That's the problem with being a well-known musician...too many are introverts forced onto a public sphere. The curse of the creative, unfortunately. All you want to do is perform and create but they want you to be articulate and charming too. |
