Summary

As the influential drummer from iconic rock 'n' roll band The Hollies, Bobby Elliott has six decades' worth of musical anecdotes. Continually touring since 1963, his adventures have seen him beating Keith Moon in a drumming audition for Shane Fenton and the Fentones, being serenaded by Joni Mitchell while she was in bed with Graham Nash, and being offered a job by Paul McCartney to work with Wings.

How to make a little go a long way

Although I was very much looking forward to this audiobook it was only ever going to come a distant also-ran to the Graham Nash release with quite a bland assessment of most of the Hollies years - It’s also a shame Bobby couldn’t at least stretch to recording the narration like Graham did….decent try, but no cigar here I’m sad to say…

The Hollie’s

Rather enjoyed this lil book down memory lane. The song I remember most is “the air that I breathe “. Reminds me of youth club discos.
