Hollies Tour

The Hollies are an English rock group from Manchester formed in the early 1960s. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, Hollies became one of the leading British groups of the era. Hollies enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966.
While all their albums included original compositions, these were usually listed under the pseudonym "L. Ransford". Released in October 1966, For Certain Because (UK #23, 1966) was the group's fifth album, their first album consisting entirely of original compositions by Clarke, Hicks and Nash. Released in the U.S. as Stop! Stop! Stop! it reached U.S. #91 and spawned a U.S. release only single "Pay You Back With Interest" which was a modest hit reaching U.S. #28. Another track "Tell Me To My Face" was a moderate hit by Mercury artist Keith and would also be covered a decade later by Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg on their "Twin Sons Of Different Mothers" album.
Their next album Evolution was released on 1 June 1967, the same day as The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was also their first album for their new U.S. label Epic. It reached UK #13 and U.S. #43. The U.S. version included the single "Carrie Anne"


Along with the Rolling Stones and The Searchers, Hollies are one of the few British pop groups of the early 1960s that has never officially broken up and which continues to record and perform to the present. The Hollies were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. The Hollies will be performing in UK this year. Hillies will be live on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at Perth Concert Hall,Perth,United Kingdom. Get your Hollies Tickets from Sold out Ticket Market at nominal rates.
