THE
HOLLIES have earned a rare achievement in world music. Fifty
years touring and recording.
Never compromising their
original sound.
The band that helped to
shape the world of Rock and Pop as we know it today will
tour New Zealand in late January & early February 2013 to
perform their Classic Hits, including –
The Air That I Breathe, He Ain’t Heavy,
He’s My Brother, Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress), Stop
Stop Stop, Carrie Anne, Look Through Any Window, I’m
Alive, Stay, Sorry Suzanne, Just One Look, On A Carousel,
Bus Stop, Too Young to be Married, I Can’t
Let Go…
The Hollies
were last in NZ for a sold-out 8-show tour
in the summer of 2011. This time they return to
Auckland and will perform in cities they
missed in 2011 – Dunedin, Palmerston North, Napier
and Hamilton, before embarking on an Australian
tour.
“Amazing. Epic. A very memorable
experience”
“A highway of
hits that drew a rapturous response from a packed house that
seemed to know every word of every
song!”
The NZ and Australia leg of this
global tour will mark the final engagements of the huge
Hollies 50th Anniversary
Tour, which has been celebrated around the world
over the last 12 months. The stage show features top shelf
production values and brings The Hollies
hits to life - absolutely true to the original
recordings. The Hollies who have enjoyed a record breaking
22 Top 10 hits were inducted into the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame in 2010 ‘For their
impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of
Rock n’ Roll’.
Since emerging as an
important component of the magnificent sixties British Pop
Revolution The Hollies’ hallmark sound
has not wavered during their fifty years of recording and
performing live around the world. Front-man Peter Howarth
delivers a faultless performance absolutely consistent with
the fine Hollies tradition of superb harmonies and classic
popular music arrangements. The famous 6 - including
Tony Hicks and Bobby
Elliott who have been playing together since 1961
– weave a unique sound never to be copied by any other
entertainment group.
In the 1960’s The
Hollies had more hit singles than The
Beatles and along with The Rolling Stones
and The Searchers they are one of
the few British pop groups of the early 1960’s that have
never officially broken up and continue to record and
perform.
