The Hollies - Concert Review
Bristol Hippodrome, 25th March 2001 - by Colin and Christine Church Having seen many Hollies concerts over the years, we set off for the Bristol venue with slight trepidation, knowing that Allan Clarke had retired. Would we be disappointed? The answer to that would be an emphatic No!
Right from the start, with the new lead singer, Carl Wayne at the helm, it was truly magic.
Yes, The Hollies had not lost that sound. We found that combining early Hollies and Move hits gave a new dimension to the whole show.
They still provided us with great numbers such as 'He ain't heavy' and 'Long cool woman in a Black Dress'. It was truly a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
To hear 'Blackberry Way' and 'Flowers in the Rain' done with such professionalism merely added to the enjoyment of the concert. Definitely one to see again.
