The Hollies - Concert Review

New Zealand & Australia, 10^th February 2001 - by Message from the Band

A message from Ian Hopkinson, Stage Sound Engineer, on behalf of the Crew and Band on the New Zealand and Australian Tour.

A LARGE thank you for our superb reception during the Antipodean trip!

Memories of not only warm climate, but incredibly friendly people, will live in all our hearts forever.

Shotover River.........Golfing at Millbrook.........IQP late for dinner (Scottish accent) "Sorry, but I've just leaped from a bridge!" Need I go on?......Alright then........Ray on the phone to his wife ......"It's rubbish here Darling!" (32 degrees, background comprising QE2, Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Foreground, four dozen Oyster rocks plus us!)........then the noise of both corks popping followed by the crowd singing Tony's song at Napier.

Home now and pinching ourselves, someone wants to pay us for the whole thing!

From all the band and crew members, we are indeed fortunate!

Ian H, Rob, Simon, Jimmy, Tony, Bob, Alan, Ray, Ian QP, and Carl.......We came, we saw, we improved our golf!
